Other: Our expanding hospital system, including 2 hospitals, 2 outpatient imaging centers and a stand-alone urgent care center include state of the art equipment in all modalities. In addition to our ample volume which allows the fellow access to extensive studies, we benefit from a robust level 1 trauma center and very diverse and unusual pathology. Daily MSK procedures allow fellows to become proficient and gain independence performing procedures. Fellows will also gain experience in pediatric MSK as this is covered by MSK faculty. There is strong coordination between outside departments with participation in orthopedic sports conference and rheumatology conference as well as encouraged participation in National MSK conferences. Electives are offered in the any of the Radiology subspecialties as the fellowship is tailored to meet the needs of each fellow. Research is strongly encouraged and time is provided to perform and publish research activities. One week of meeting/education time is allowed to attend a national MSK meeting. Call is taken as an Attending with over-signing on-call residents reports which allows the fellow to maintain general diagnostic skills. Additional shifts of in house moonlighting are available. Flexibility in scheduling is an advantage of our program as well as our prime location in North Florida on the coast. The excellent climate, beaches, metropolitan diversity, outdoor activities, as well as favorable traffic and housing make Jacksonville an excellent location.
