Radiology Quality Academy (RQA)

Unique to BIDMC, and building on our Radiology Department’s international reputation for Quality Improvement expertise, the Radiology Quality Academy provides three different levels of training in Quality Improvement with coursework ranging from fundamental to advanced. It culminates in the publication of a Quality project. Residents are awarded Certificates of Completion at each level of training.

Moonlighting

BIDMC Radiology residents have the opportunity for both internal and external moonlighting. The internal moonlighting schedule allows second- through fourth-year residents on an elective basis to help with protocolling studies and previewing body and chest CTs from 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm Monday - Fridays and weekend days 7:00 am - 7:00 pm.

There are several opportunities for external moonlighting, which allow residents to provide contrast coverage for several outpatient imaging centers.

The moonlighting schedules are resident-driven, and second- through fourth-year residents are free to moonlight as long as duty hours, academic, and attendance requirements are maintained.

Program Highlights & Wellness

• Wellness is a top priority in our program, and we have many initiatives to address resident wellness. For example, residents have the lunch hour off to eat together and socialize. Additionally, residents host wellness events several times a year to get together and bond as a group
• We hold Town Halls regularly where residents and program directors meet together to discuss updates and hear resident feedback to implement changes within the program
• Our WE-RADS group serves to promote career development, mentorship and networking resources. The group also supports the personal and professional well-being of all radiologists. Events focused on leadership, mentorship, networking, and inclusivity are hosted several times a year
