Hi Everyone!
Welcome to another post-COVID year. Looks like virtual interviews may be hanging around for a bit longer, possibly permanently. For now, we will make the best of it that we can. We built this website in 2020 to help our applicants get to know us, and have continued to update it. We decided to hold off making a new website because this will be the last year the MGH and BWH will be recruiting fellows for SEPARATE fellowships. Next year, we will be recruiting together.
In the meantime, if this page does NOT cover something that you're interested in, please reach out and let me know!
"Fellow meet-and-greet" sessions (attending-free spaces that you can ask whatever you'd like) will be happening on Tuesdays January 20 and March 17. Outlook invite with Teams link will be sent out shortly before those dates, but if you did not get the link by the day before, please let me (Connie) know. If you'd like to chat 1:1 with a fellow, please also let me know and I'm happy to connect you.
If you are interested in attending our conference on the day of the interview, complete the training and paperwork at the very bottom of this page.
Want to see what our home base looks like? Come take a virtual tour with us and meet some of our attending staff. Updates since this video was made: The "fellows" in the video are now all Attending Staff, including Joao Vicentini has stayed with our Division and is our Associate Fellowship Director, Alexis Cahalane who was also a fellow and splits his time between MSK and IR, and Ron Mercer who spent 1 year in private practice and has returned to our group. Zach Stewart, who trained at the U Wisconsin, Tina Shiang, who trained at UMass and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Yung Chen, who previously worked in private practice, have also joined us. Also, both of our fluoro units have been replaced in the last 2 years, so they look different from the video.
How many fellowship positions do you have? (Featuring Jad Husseini, Prior Associate Fellowship Program Director, now MRI Service Chief)
Update: we now have 8 funded clinical fellow positions
How are the fellow rotations organized? (And, what kinds of interventions does the MSK division do?) (Featuring Jad Husseini, Prior Associate Fellowship Program Director, now MRI Service Chief)
Will I need a car? (Featuring Rafa Vicentini, Associate Fellowship Director, and Zach Stewart, MSK Ultrasound Service Chief)
How much diagnostic and interventional experience do fellows have by the end of the year? (Featuring Rafa Vicentini, Associate Fellowship Director)

Update - specifically, we do all things spine (injections, biopsies, ablations). We do not do vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty. There is a historical reason for this which is a long story and happy to tell you more when we meet if you're interested!
What opportunities are there during the fellowship to explore academic radiology? (Featuring Connie Chang, Program Director). Sorry this video is so slow to load (not sure why because it's not that big!). For now I've posted the slide that I discuss. I'll keep working on it...

This is the MGH Radiology Resident video for 2020-2021, and it gives you a little flavor of the MGH culture from a slightly different perspective. Claude, one of the superstars in the video, was one of our mini-fellows (2019-2020). :)
