Radiology Residency Program Committee

Residency Program Committee (RPC)

General Information

The RPC meets every 4-6 weeks, or more frequently if required, to discuss residency matters and provide a forum to discuss and address resident issues and concerns.  Its mandate is to ensure and maintain a strong residency program, including the selection, evaluation and promotion of residents. The RPC is involved in regular review of the program and its components, and welcomes input from residents and faculty alike to improve resident education. There are three resident representatives on the committee.  The Chief Resident is typically an incoming PGY5 resident appointed by the committee. The residents elect the Junior Resident Representative and select a PGY1 Liaison Resident Representative. Each has a one-year term.
