Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program

SAUSHEC Diagnostic Radiology (SDR) is a 5-year residency program, including 1 year of internship. Yearly, SDR accepts 10 residents, 5 Army and 5 AF applicants, depending on future needs of those services. Several positions are reserved for pre-selected applicants from the 4th year of medical school. Other positions are reserved for active duty applicants.

SAMMC(BAMC) and WHMC are Level 1 trauma centers, which provide breadth and depth in each subspecialty of radiology. Together, over 300,000 examinations are done at the two institutions making the SAUSHEC program the largest in the Armed Services. SDR has multiple fellowship trained radiologists in body imaging, IR, musculoskeletal imaging, neuroradiology, pediatric radiology and women imaging. BAMC houses the pre-eminent burn center for the entire US military, Center for the Intrepid, and Institute of Surgical Research. SDR residents have 4 outside rotations: Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington DC (PY3), Texas Children Hospital in Houston, Texas (PY1 & 3), and University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio, Texas (PY2). Our residents receive 3 funded TDYs to attend UTHSCSA Physics Review Course (PY2), Duke Radiology Review Course (PY4) and 1 scientific presentation. Video teleconferences are conducted 3 times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between BAMC, WHMC, and UTHSCSA, which share cases, lectures, and radiologic expertise between the 3 centers. Over the academic year, SDR has a robust didactic lecture series organized by organ system. There are typically two conferences daily, 07:15-08:15 and 12:00-13:00. Opportunities for clinical research exist. In past 3 years, our residents have produced more than 77 publications.

San Antonio is a growing city with plenty of amenities for family recreation. Austin, the Alamo, the Missions, Sea World, Six Flags, Schlitterbahn, and River Walk are all within an hour's drive. Housing is affordable, cost of living is low, and public schools are good. There is a variety of employment opportunities for spouses. San Antonio is known for its hot summers and mild winters.
