Scientific internship Radiology

Radiology and nuclear medicine are undergoing significant development. Scientific research is consolidated in the Center for Image Sciences (CIS). Increasingly advanced equipment and expertise are leading to a rapid increase in both diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities. Many physician-researchers work in the Department of Radiology at UMC Utrecht, which also includes nuclear medicine. A number of them enter training to become radiologists after their research period. There is close collaboration with most departments of UMC Utrecht regarding both patient care and scientific research. Additionally, there is close research cooperation with the Image Sciences Institute (ISI), a research center focused on innovations in the acquisition and processing of medical images. As a department, we offer you a varied and educational scientific internship in an inspiring environment.

The main research themes within radiology are:
Cerebrovascular medicine
Cardiovascular medicine
Regenerative medicine
Oncology
Infection and immunity
Pediatrics

Various research projects are offered within these themes. Publishing a scientific article based on the internship is a possibility and is certainly not an exception. However, it should be noted that this chance increases with the duration of the internship.

For whom

CRU Master Year 1, 2 or 3
Summa Year 4
student Honours Programme
Technical Medicine students

Where

The scientific internships take place at the Department of Radiology of the UMC Utrecht.

When

The internship period can be chosen in consultation with the research supervisor.

For CRU Master's Year 3 students, the scientific internship can be combined with a senior residency.

How long

CRU Master Year 1 or 2: 6 weeks
CRU Master Year 3: 12 weeks
Summa Year 4: 18 weeks

Senior Clinical Studentship in Radiology

The senior clinical clerkship is intended for students considering a specialization in radiology. During this rotation, you will gain intensive experience in several subfields of radiology, functioning at the level of independence and responsibility of a junior resident training to become a radiologist.

The senior clerkship can optionally be combined with a scientific internship to a combined internship.

For whom

CRU Master Year 3 

Where

Most training departments of the Radiology cluster in Utrecht offer this internship (UMC, Meander MC Amersfoort, and Gelre Hospitals Apeldoorn).

For a combined internship, it is preferred that both the senior clinical clerkship and the scientific internship take place at the UMC.

When

Throughout the year. In the case of a combined rotation, it is advisable to complete the senior clinical clerkship first and then the scientific rotation.

How long

The senior clinical clerkship lasts 12 weeks. Combined with a research internship, the total duration is 24 weeks.
