Research in Radiology

Many medical students participate in research in radiology. These research projects may be short term or long term and are available in most radiology subspecialties as well as radiology education.  Projects may last several weeks to multi-year projects.  To inquire about potential research projects, please contact the Vice-Chair of Research in Radiology, Dr. Jessica Sin.  Please include the following in your communication with her:

  1. Your CV
  2. Any particular areas of interest in radiology
  3. Any specific "skills" or experience you have e.g. prior research experience, computer software, Excel, imaging processing, statistics
  4. realistic estimate of the amount of time that you will have per week over what period to spend on research
