Overview
Stony Brook University Hospital serves the entire Suffolk County of Long Island, and all major trauma and orthopedic oncologic cases come to our institution. Our program has a unique strength in that we can offer both academic hospital setting as well as community hospital and private practice setting for Fellow’s training. Sports injury cases are abundantly provided through Stony Brook University athletes, while bread and butter routine outpatient MSK MRI’s are offered through our community affiliated hospitals including Southampton and Eastern Long Island Hospital. Our outpatient imaging centers within Stony Brook as well as Commack and Hampton Bays (Riverhead is coming soon) also offer plenty of opportunities for the MSK fellow to expose themselves to outpatient MSK MRI and Ultrasound, as well as minimally invasive imaging guided MSK procedures. MSK fellow will also work with Interventional Radiology section for in-hospital IR procedures such as kyphoplasty, bone and bone marrow biopsy, soft tissue biopsy, radiofrequency ablation, etc. Overall, our program offers a well-rounded training environment which is often not possible in some of subspecialized inner-city hospitals.
Currently, we accept one fellow per year through the Match. The curriculum has been developed to build upon the knowledge and skills learned during residency. The overall goal is for the fellow to become proficient in musculoskeletal radiology and procedures as well as adopt life long learning and self assessment skills. The fellow is able to pursue future positions in either an academic or private practice setting. Our graduates have gone on to successful academic and private practice careers.
Thank you for your interest in our MSK Fellowship program and please do not hesitate to contact me or program coordinator if you have any questions.
