RAD 711 Interventional Radiology
This clinical clerkship exposes the student to interventional radiology with emphasis on patient care. Both non-vascular as well as vascular interventional examinations are performed on inpatients as well as outpatients. Students will have assigned readings and will be able to attend lectures given by the Diagnostic Radiology attending staff and residents included under the Diagnostic Radiology clerkship. FA WI SP SU [4 weeks]

RAD 712 Correlative Imaging
This clerkship exposes the student to ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging with emphasis on correlation of radiologic findings. Students will be assigned reading and spend time in each of the various imaging sections in the Radiology Department working with the radiology attending physicians and resident physicians. Prerequisite: RAD 791. FA WI SP SU [4 weeks]

RAD 721 Radiation Oncology
The student will participate in the normal activities of the department including consultations, treatment planning, and follow-up care of cancer patients. The student will be assigned to multiple services, allowing exposure to different cancer sites. FA WI SP SU [2 or 4 weeks]

RAD 781 Research in Radiology
Students may arrange research rotations individually with faculty at Rush. In order to receive credit for such a rotation, the person to whom the student will be responsible must write a letter describing the student's activities, responsibilities, amount of supervision, and the specific dates of the rotation. Credit toward graduation is granted assuming that the research project is ongoing throughout the academic year. Students must submit a proposal to the Office of Clinical Curriculum for approval at least eight weeks before the rotation and must have written approval from the Office of Clinical Curriculum before beginning the rotation. Research rotations are scheduled for a minimum of four weeks of credit with the expectation that the full project will extend beyond the formal course duration. Depending on the proposal, the weeks of credit may or may not apply to the rule of 8-weeks’ maximum credit for coursework in a single subspecialty. This decision is at the discretion of the Office of Medical Student Programs. [4 weeks]

RAD 791 Diagnostic Radiology
Basic radiologic principles are demonstrated, and the role of the diagnostic radiologist in the clinical setting of general patient care, and medical and surgical specialty consultations is emphasized. Each student prepares one case for the teaching file and gives one oral presentation. Students have assigned readings to complete, and are tested by a written final examination. Students are also urged to attend the two daily departmental teaching conferences. FA WI SP SU [4 weeks]

RAD 796 Nuclear Medicine
All facets of the disciplines of nuclear medicine are studied, with particular emphasis on radionuclide scanning of organ systems for diagnostic and research purposes. Emphasis is on pathophysiologic correlation and case study. Literature review and individual topics are encouraged to provide in-depth study in the broad field of nuclear medicine.
