Purpose:

The RSNA Research and Education Foundation Institutional Fellowship in Radiological Informatics was created in response to a present and future need for the training of radiologists in the specific area of information technology as it relates to the radiological sciences. The Fellowship is designed to provide training opportunities to young physicians and scientists in the radiological sciences not yet professionally established in the area of informatics. The specific purposes of the Fellowship are as follows:

1. To promote and enhance the understanding and utilization of communications capabilities, PACS, internet-based
    databases and educational materials, and computer linked modalities within radiology departments.
2. To increase the integration and efficiency of electronic media within radiology departments and
    hospital environments.
3. To assist in collaboration with industry in the establishment and implementation of clinical requirements for
    electronic media communications.

Center for Evidence-Based Imaging (CEBI) is a Center of Excellence of Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School dedicated to improving the quality and efficiency of care delivery using innovative information technology solutions.  This one-year fellowship is designed to provide a formally designed training program in radiological informatics consisting of educational, research and experiential components.  The goal is to enhance the integration and value of information technologies within medical imaging through increased understanding and utilization of informatics concepts, and to train radiological informaticists for the future of our profession.

• It is expected that one or more research projects will be undertaken during the fellowship training period.
• Selected fellows will devote full time to the training program under the guidance of a scientific advisor for the full term of the fellowship.  Under special circumstances, the fellow may spend a maximum of 20 percent of his/her time in clinical service outside of the proposed training program if the advisor and the fellow agree in advance that those activities are essential to the development of the fellow as an academician.

Fellow Eligibility Requirements:

• Have completed their residency or post-doctoral training in the radiological sciences.
• Have a degree of M.D., D.O., Ph. D. or equivalent as recognized by the American Medical Association.
