Moonlighting
- There are several internal moonlighting opportunities for first through fourth year residents. First through third years can participate in “contrast coverage” multiple days a week at our partner outpatient imaging centers. Starting second year, residents participate in performing arthrograms (typically shoulder and hip joint injections) at an outpatient imaging center and giving medical student lectures for students on rotation in the department.
- Fourth years partake in internal moonlighting on Saturdays and Sundays, reading diagnostic exams and performing basic procedures under the supervision of an attending radiologist. External moonlighting opportunities may also become available on a case-by-case basis.
