MRI is also taught in the form of weekly rounds. At this rounds session, faculty
radiologists discuss cases evaluated by the AnimalScan Imaging Center. Generally
10-15 cases are reviewed and imaging protocols as well as differential diagnoses and
image interpretation are discussed. The Neurology service joins these rounds once a
month to provide additional input.

presentations at the annual ACVR or equivalent national meeting? 95%
Is an advanced degree a requirement of the training program? No
X. Educational Environment:
How many lectures or scientific presentations are expected of each resident during the
course of their training?
Each resident is expected to present the findings of his or her research project at the
ACVR annual scientific meeting during their third year of training. Each resident
is also required to give 2 presentations over the course of their training to house
officers and faculty on topics relating to diagnostic imaging. Additionally, the
residents routinely give two lectures on physics and digital imaging to veterinary
students on clinical rotation, and occasional lectures to the veterinary students in
the RadVets radiology student club.
XI. Evaluation 'Evaluation of residents and protection mechanisms':
•
•
•
At the 6 months reviews did your resident(s) successfully complete their
residency training or did any of your resident(s) not adequately complete the last
6 months of training?
List the current members of the residents' review committee.
List the internal mechanisms in place to protect your resident if conflicts arise.
All residents successfully completed their semi-annual evaluations. Evaluations are
performed twice a year in December and April and are submitted to the Student
Services at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Any
instance where a resident “does not meet standards” in any of the evaluation
criteria the Faculty Committee of House Officer Programs (FCHOP) is notified.
Each resident is evaluated by the radiology faculty and has a faculty mentor outside
the radiology group. This mentor, as well as the FCHOP committee are possible
points of contact for the residents should conflicts arise.
Members of current resident review committees:
Radiology faculty for all residents
Outside mentors:
For Mason Savage: Steven Marks
For Kristina Simone: Peter Early
For Maria Evola: Tracy Gieger
For Nicholas Petrovic: Sandra Tou
For Jaime Rechy: Matthew Gerard
XII. Teaching File:
Last Revised: November 25, 2008
North Carolina State University
January 27, 2015
What is the nature and scope of the teaching file available to residents?
Clinical images from 2002 to present are in a digital format and available through
the Radiology Information System (RIS). These cases are indexed by keywords that
can be searched in the RIS. Searches in the RIS can be filtered using the report
assessments, descriptions, patient signalment and exam type parameters. These
cases are directly linked to the PACS system for web-based image retrieval. A
limited film archive of interesting cases and artifacts is also available on-site.
How is it maintained/updated?
The RIS teaching file is updated by faculty and residents by adding keywords
during report generation and finalization. The artifact files are maintained by the
residents. The film archive is maintained by technologists.
XIII. Conferences:
On average how many Known Case Conferences are conducted annually? 49
XIV. Literature resources:
What is the geographic relationship between the nearest medical library and the training
program?
The William Rand Kenan, Jr. Library of Veterinary Medicine is on-site.
XV. Appendix:
(a) Provide the pass rate for first time, second time, etc for both the preliminary and
certifying exams for your residents for the past 5 years. For example, for all residents
finishing your program 5 years ago (Year 5), check the appropriate box. Complete the
table for residents finishing 4 years ago (Year 4), 3 years ago (Year 3), etc.

(b) Provide a clinical schedule for your resident(s). This schedule should provide a weekly
or monthly outline of the resident’s clinical responsibilities. This may be in the form
of a master schedule or duty roster for your entire radiology section if desired.
Schedule for academic year (we currently have 3 second year residents). “Specials” is
Special Procedures. All assignments default to general radiography (Rad) if no cases are
been seen in the assigned modality.
