Administrative Services

Administrative Services within the Department of Diagnostic Imaging consists of a dedicated team of support staff. This team provides administrative and office support to the medical and management staff. They also provide academic/scientific support in the preparation of presentations, lectures, publications, chapters, and grants. Administration of the Paediatric Fellowship program is focused on ensuring that each fellow’s program admission criteria and ongoing regulatory criteria are met. Staffing consists of Administrative Assistants who provide support to the Radiologist-in-Chief and the Managing Director; Senior Secretaries who provide administrative support to Radiologists, Scientists, Fellows, and Team Leaders; and Patient Information Clerks who register and book appointments for each modality.

Key Accomplishments

  • The Department of Diagnostic Imaging released the first issue of their newsletter in December 2007. Since then, the "Inside View" continues to keep all staff members informed and up to date. The newsletter has staff updates, upcoming conferences, reminders, publications, and other additional information that may be submitted from other individuals within the Department.
  • The Observership program continues to attract over 60 applications per year. The Coordinator processes the applications making sure that all criteria are met.
  • Our Residency Coordinator works with the Residency Program Director ensuring that all criteria for the rotating residents coming to DI are met. From organizing their orientation and training, to scheduling their daily shifts, she provides the residents with the administrative support they require to complete their rotation.
  • Our Fellowship program has evolved over the past year with a total of 70 applications applying for 13 funded fellowship positions and eight self-funded positions. The administrative team processes all these applications and coordinates all interviews for these candidates. Most recently, the Fellowship Program underwent successful review and accreditation by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.'

Current Initiatives

We provided administrative support for the following conference/courses:

  • 3rd Pediatric Interventional Radiology Symposium which was held on October 24-26, 2008
  • 6th SPR Symposium on Pediatric Cardiovascular MR which was help on December 10-12, 2008
  • Improving Trainees’ Skills in Research: The Design and Delivery of a Training Research Development Workshop

This support consisted of organizing all the administrative aspects of these conferences including cost management, pamphlet design, registration, organization of all events, creation of symposium manuals and compilation of all evaluations post conference.
