Policies and procedures

Supervision and Accountability

Central to the program is a robust supervision system adhering to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education International (ACGME-I) guidelines. The institution mandates that residents are supervised either directly or indirectly, with immediate availability of direct supervision when necessary. Faculty supervision assignments are structured to be of sufficient duration, allowing for accurate assessment of each resident’s knowledge and skills, thereby delegating appropriate levels of patient care responsibility. Clear guidelines are established for circumstances requiring residents to consult with supervising faculty, such as patient transfers to intensive care units or critical end-of-life decisions. This structured supervision ensures patient safety and provides residents with a supportive environment for progressive responsibility.

Assessment and Evaluation

The program employs a competency-based assessment framework, focusing on direct observation across multiple domains, including patient care, medical knowledge, systems-based practice, and professionalism. This approach emphasizes continuous feedback, enabling residents to identify strengths and areas for improvement actively. Regular evaluations ensure that residents meet the program’s rigorous standards and are well-prepared for independent practice upon completion.

Admission Criteria and Process

Applicants are required to submit a comprehensive application package, which undergoes a thorough evaluation. As part of the selection process, candidates must successfully complete the International Foundations of Medicine® Clinical Sciences Examination (IFOM® CSE), administered by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) in the United States. This exam rigorously assesses medical knowledge and clinical reasoning, ensuring alignment with international standards.

Shortlisted candidates are invited to participate in structured interviews designed to evaluate their academic excellence, clinical aptitude, and passion for radiology. This meticulous process ensures that only the most qualified and motivated individuals are selected, maintaining the program’s high standards of excellence.
