Role: Dual appointment as Yale MPH Candidate and Yale Diagnostic Radiology Clinical Associate.
For Whom: Post-residency Diagnostic Radiologist who aspires to be an informatics leader in Private or Academic Practice. With an active clinical presence in their chosen Diagnostic Radiology division alongside a broader role in the department’s informatics initiatives, the Radiologist will become experienced in much of the gamut of clinical and informatics activities in our department.
Overview: During a two-year cycle, beginning in July, the candidate will complete the MPH program at Yale University and a clinical imaging position with roles corresponding to the needs of the section applied to. In addition, the candidate will play a leadership role on one or more projects from the Chair’s office. Projects may include (but not be limited to): research; operational programing; innovation initiatives; teleradiology programmatic growth; or process improvement.
The candidate will work as a Clinical Associate as defined by the imaging section. The candidates' clinical work will be proctored and reviewed on a regular basis by the section’s Attending Physicians. Beginning in late July, the candidate will begin the eMPH program on the Health Informatics track. Over the next 24 months, the candidate will spend 3 class sessions on campus and engage in the online education program.
The fellow will NOT be scheduled for clinical work during the period leading up to, nor including, the class times.
The fellowship will conclude at the end of 24 months, with the fellow receiving a certificate of completion of fellowship from Yale Diagnostic Radiology as well as the MPH degree from Yale University.

In addition, the fellow will receive additional remuneration for any additional shifts he/she voluntarily accepts beyond the stated required shifts (as allowed).

Appendix A: Clinical Position
The fellow will have the designation of Clinical Associate. Depending on the associate’s “clinical home,” expectations may differ. Clinical sections available will include the following:

Therefore, it would be expected that in the second year the fellow would remain a Clinical Associate and operate as an independent staff attending. Associate can also opt to work alongside the Emergency Imaging staff over the entirety of the 2-year program as an independent staff attending.
