Educational Observers

The educational observer program provides individuals with educational opportunities to shadow or observe our radiologists and residents in a hospital setting. Educational observers are supervised at all times and act as non-participating witnesses when observing events at the institution. 

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with the Radiology department, please contact Pamela McElroy for more details.
