The program provides experience in image-guided interventional orthopaedic procedures, including arthrography, joint aspiration, soft tissue and bone biopsy techniques and orthopaedic pain management procedures (fluoroscopic and ultrasound guided steroid and anesthetic injections). Experience is available in vertebroplasty. Advanced training is provided in interpretation of musculoskeletal radiography, CT and MRI. Elective time can be arranged for the MSK fellow to learn neuro and body MRI from fellowship trained experts in these subspecialties as well.
This one-year fellowship is primarily supervised by two fellowship trained musculoskeletal radiologists (Farzad Rezai MD and Andrew Chang MD) who are known for their teaching excellence. Musculoskeletal Radiology fellowships at the University of California Irvine are at the level of Health Sciences Clinical Instructor, and one position is based at Long Beach Veterans Administration. This position will have the benefits and privileges through the University of California, Irvine. Each month, eight UC Irvine Radiology residents rotate through the Tibor Rubin Long Beach VA Medical Center. The fellows will participate in the teaching of UC Irvine residents and medical students, actively participate in interdisciplinary conferences, and take an active part in the ongoing research projects and publications.
