As the only academic health center in in the state of Oregon, Oregon Health & Science University provides a full spectrum of care to a diverse and growing population. OHSU is home to numerous research centers and institutes, including one of the first Clinical and Translational Science Award-funded programs in the country (Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute), the Advanced Imaging Research Center, the Dotter Interventional Institute and both the Knight Cancer and Knight Cardiovascular Institute. The Knight Cancer Institute is the only NCI-designated Cancer Center in Oregon. The OHSU cardiothoracic imaging section is staffed by four fellowship trained cardiothoracic radiologists and they cover all aspects of cardiac and thoracic imaging including radiography, CT/CTA, MRI/MRA and thoracic biopsy procedures. There is plenty of opportunity for institutional interdisciplinary interactions through numerous multidisciplinary conferences and tumor boards, including medicine/family medicine, pulmonology/critical care, pathology, thoracic and cardiac surgery, medical oncology and radiation medicine. We strongly encourage fellows to participate in collaborative research. C...ollaborations with the Knight Cancer and Knight Cardiovascular Institutes allow for cutting edge technologies and research, both clinical and preclinical. We also encourage and offer support for fellows to present at regional and national conferences. Support is offered through protected academic time and a conference discretionary fund. Our department's advanced facilities and expert mentors will give fellows the skills required to become first-rate cardiothoracic radiologists.
