Additionally, residents participate in daily and weekly department conferences, interdepartmental tumor boards, and the American Institute for Radiologic Pathology course in Washington, D.C.

The program's faculty includes experts like Dr. Tej Phatak and Dr. Michael Sadler, each bringing valuable experience and specialties to enhance resident learning. Notably, the program has a supportive educational environment, with opportunities for resident research, scholarly work, and accolades noted in recent years.
