Community Engagement

Our Women in Radiology group welcomes all faculty, fellows, and residents to regular meetings designed to expose, discuss, and help navigate the issues particular to women in the medical field.

Our Radiology Book Group meets three times a year to discuss books selected through a department-wide vote. All faculty, trainees, and staff are invited to participate and provided with a book. Books represent a diverse range of authors and subjects and are often selected in conjunction with a history or heritage awareness month:

• The Vanishing Half, by Brit Bennett
• Hunting Eichmann: How a Band of Survivors and a Young Spy Agency Chased Down the World's Most Notorious Nazi by Neal Bascomb
• Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood, by Trevor Noah
• The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini
• The Devil's Highway, by Luis Alberto Urrea
• The Bluest Eye, by Toni Morrison
• Giovanni's Room, by James Baldwin
• Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, by David Grann
• The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women, by Kate Moore
• Behold the Dreamers, by Imbolo Mbue
• Just Mercy, by Bryan Stevenson
• A Mercy, by Toni Morrison

The Radiology High School Mentoring Program invites students from a local high school to learn about healthcare professions through 50 to 60 after-school hours spent in the department. Students are mentored by a wide range of radiology professionals, including faculty, residents, technologists, and clinical staff, through lectures and activities, shadowing, interview technique instruction, volunteer work, and videos. The goal of this program is to expose students to the wide range of careers in medicine.
