2026-2027 Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship

DescriptionThe Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging, Musculoskeletal Imaging Division (MSK) at the University of Virginia, seeks candidates to fill multiple Clinical Instructor positions to begin July 1, 2026. The University of Virginia MSK Division is participating in the National Residency Match Program (NRMP) Fellowship Match process, sponsored by the Society of Skeletal Imaging. Qualified candidates will be members of the NRMP, [
This one-year post-graduate training fellowship program focuses on all aspects of MSK imaging. The fellowship includes significant experience with a wide variety of image-guided procedures, including pain management procedures and spine injections, in addition to cross-sectional and plain radiographic diagnostic work. It is expected that each fellow complete one academic project (such as a paper for publication, QI project, or education exhibit) during the year.
In addition to the above purely clinical fellowship positions, one position will be a hybrid of MSK/Informatics. The hybrid fellow will asymmetrically divide time between clinical MSK work (~80%) and clinical informatics experience/research (~20%). The ideal candidate for this position is at least entertaining the idea of an academic career (though not required) and has aptitude (though not necessarily experience) in engineering or information technology/systems. Clinical responsibilities for both of the above types of positions include supervised and graduated levels of unsupervised clinical work. Outpatient rotations will be done at the new Ivy Mountain Musculoskeletal Center. The Department provides final reads to our ED patients on a 24-7 basis with overnight coverage being provided by our fellows who elect to participate in the program. Overnight work can be performed from home, and includes subspecialty attending back-up as needed. This optional program bolsters income in a comfortable environment, while promoting the maintenance and further development of general radiology skills in preparation for boards and practice.
