Welcome to the UK College of Medicine Department of Radiology

 

It is my privilege to welcome you to the University of Kentucky College of Medicine Department of Radiology. As a vital contributor to patient care, education, and research, our department is proud to advance the health of the Commonwealth through world-class imaging services, robust training programs, and meaningful community outreach.

Radiology is central to modern medicine, and UK offers a clinical and academic environment that is unmatched in the region. As a leading academic medical center, a Level 1 trauma center, and home to both the Kentucky Children’s Hospital and the state's only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, UK provides exceptional opportunities for radiologists to contribute to high-acuity, multidisciplinary care. Our team plays an integral role across these programs, delivering advanced diagnostic imaging and image-guided therapies.

Our ACGME-accredited diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology residencies, along with fellowships in all radiologic subspecialties, offer an exceptional training experience. Trainees gain exposure to a diverse range of pathology—trauma, oncology, transplant, pediatrics, and more—while learning alongside expert clinicians in a collaborative, patient-centered environment.

Education is at the core of our mission. Faculty are deeply engaged with medical students, residents, and fellows through hands-on training, structured didactics, mentorship, and support for research and national presentations. Our department fosters a strong culture of collaboration, support, and mentorship. 

As Kentucky’s flagship academic medical center, we are committed to expanding access to high-quality imaging across the state. Through teleradiology, rural outreach, and partnerships with underserved communities, we are working to improve care for all Kentuckians.

Whether you're considering training, a career, seeking care, or referring a patient, we invite you to learn more about the UK College of Medicine Department of Radiology.
