Established in 1998, the Residency Program in Respiratory Diseases offers a four-year program to two residents per year. It includes lectures, seminars, clinical case discussions, clinical experience (including spirometry, fiberoptic broncoscopy) in the wards and the outpatient Departments of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery, at the Ospedale di Circolo in Varese.

The program is designed to train pneumologists with clinical skills in the management and early diagnosis strategies of respiratory diseases, with training in epidemiology, statistics, industrial medicine. Attention is especially focused on lung cancer (including multimodality treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy), lung interstitial disease, tuberculosis, asthma.

At the end of each academic year the residents are evaluated by the Council of the Residency Program. Upon completion of the four-year program, the residents present a thesis and qualify as Specialist in Respiratory Diseases.

Established in 1997, the Residency Program in Diagnostic Radiology is a four year program that trains clinical specialists, with a combined program of classroom and clinical and diagnostic experience. Between November 2001 and October 2005, the program has trained 22 residents.

Main Subjects: anatomy, physiology, pathology, internal medicine, general and specialized surgery, forensic medicine, physics, radiobiology, radiation protection, contrast media, computer applications, imaging modalities (conventional radiology, digital radiology; ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, angiography), breast imaging, cardiac imaging, emergency radiology, gastro-intestinal imaging, genito-urinary imaging, head and neck imaging, molecular imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, neuroradiology, pediatric imaging, thoracic imaging, vascular imaging, interventional radiology (vascular and extra-vascular).

In January 1896, Yale physicist Arthur W. Wright made the first X-ray in the United States, following Roentgen’s discovery in Germany several weeks earlier. More than a century later, diagnostic radiologists at Yale are pushing forward the outer edges of their discipline, using sophisticated techniques in MR, CT, SPECT, PET and ultrasound imaging to diagnose complex disorders and breaking new paths in the further development and application of advanced imaging modalities.

The Diagnostic Radiology faculty include some of the world’s most respected scholars in imaging, interventional radiology, and bioimaging sciences:
the Department ranks 11th nationally in NIH funding,
the residency program is rated among the best in the nation
historically, the Department has been a leader in the field of imaging.

Yale Diagnostic Radiology Grand Rounds tradition is unique to the medical profession with deep historical roots. Today, it provides an opportunity for all practitioners, from the most junior trainee to the most senior diagnostician, to learn and exchange ideas in a common forum. Please join us for our Grand Rounds series of lectures this season.

Our 2009 Winter/Spring Calendar gives updated information on speakers, titles and objectives, dates and times for each semi-monthly lecture.
