Special Pathways
Brigham and Women's Radiology Residency Program supports three specialized pathways for those who are interested in a specific career. In addition to the standard diagnostic radiology program, residents can apply for the Holman, DIRECT, or PEDRAP programs.

| Holman Research Pathway |
For applicants who are interested in a research-oriented career, the Holman Research Pathway offers 21-24 months of research time during the 5 years of total training. During these research months, residents devote one day per week to clinical radiology training.
