Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center

Positions Offered: 2-3

Duration: 12 months

Application Deadline: per NRMP Match guidelines

We are a highly regarded hospital system in Richmond, the capital city of Virginia.  The VCU Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention fellowship is a one-year program. Fellows are predominantly based in a brand new state-of-the-art Orthopedic Imaging outpatient center in the vibrant Short Pump area, a suburb just outside of Richmond.  Fellows also rotate at our other outpatient center (Stony Point) and at our main VCU medical center. 

We have 6 musculoskeletal trained faculty and are still expanding.  Fellows in our program will become experts at all aspects of musculoskeletal imaging, including spine imaging, and at performing MSK procedures (CT and US guided biopsies, joint injections/aspirations, epidural steroid injection, facet injections). We have a high daily volume of MSK CT, MRI and US.  Our department includes friendly and expertly trained support staff to assist with all interventional procedures. The MSK section works closely with VCU's large and highly rated Orthopedic department, as well as the Rheumatology and PMR departments.  Our fellows focus on cross-sectional imaging. Optional in-house MSK moonlighting opportunities have allowed recent fellows to more than double their base salary. Elective time is available (e.g. nuclear medicine, emergency, pediatric, chest, breast, neuro or abdominal imaging)

The Richmond area is a great place to live and to raise a family.  It has been regularly ranked on US News's lists for Best Places to Live and Best Places to Retire.
