They will be given cases to interpret, and sign out to an attending physician just as the residents do. Additionally, students will spend two weeks doing procedures with the NVIR department at Memorial with appropriate patient follow-up. They will rotate through the Musculoskeletal and Emergency divisions and a choice of pediatrics or breast imaging to get a sense of the daily routine of residents and attendings at UMass.
