Dear Candidate:

The Department of Radiology at Loyola University, Stritch School of Medicine, is one of the best-recognized resident training programs in the Midwest. The Loyola mission of compassionate and excellent medical care carries through the Radiology Department as well as the remainder of the medical center. The Loyola Radiology faculty has consistently provided high quality education over the last thirty years. As an academic Radiology department, we provide state-of-the-art equipment and innovative procedures for the residents to participate in during their clinical training.

Loyola offers prospective candidates an opportunity to participate in the frontiers of radiology in our neurointerventional imaging program as well as our endovascular program. With a high volume of clinical cases, you will see a comprehensive array of pathology in a tertiary care medical center. Throughout the training program, residents receive a combination of didactic sessions, personal tutorials, journal clubs, mentoring and a concentration of practical experience.

Residents with an interest have had no difficulty in obtaining fellowships at leading institutions in this country. Our residents are sought after for private practice as well as academic practice because of the excellent experiences many medical groups have had with the Loyola residency program. For those interested in academics, our former residents have served as Chairmen of Radiology departments and populate the academic faculty of many first rate institutions in this country.

This is a very exciting time in our department.  Two new imaging centers have opened and PACS has been completely integrated.  The ambulatory center and off-sites are completely digital with state-of-the-art CT and MRI.  Digital imaging archiving and distribution throughout the health care network is now in place.  In addition, current commitment to equipment includes state of the art Breast MRI, a new 3T magnet, a 64 slice CT scanner in the ER and a Neuro-endovascular suite.  This capital equipment helps our Radiology Faculty keep our imaging program at the forefront of medical imaging.  Using our basic science faculty, instruction in basic principles of digital imaging and computers occurs on a routine basis throughout the residency program.

There is no more exciting time to enter the field of Radiology than today. The radiologist now is both a diagnostician and a treating physician. The Loyola program is designed to prepare you for either private practice or fellowship and further academic practice. In either event, your training at Loyola will stand you in good stead throughout your career.

Yours truly,

Marc A. Borge, M.D., FSIR

Professor and Interim Chairman
Department of Radiology
