Call Schedules

Residents gain invaluable experience, confidence, speed, and independence as they progress through the tiered call system. The on-call experience is designed to fully prepare residents for all aspects of radiology, including both the private practice and academic settings. Residents repeatedly say that their on-call experience is one of the most useful learning experiences of residency.
