Rad Combinator is an initiative of our residency program to support residents in developing passions and non-interpretive skills that complement their radiology training. The initiative aims to support innovative ideas by residents to enrich their own education. Residents receive one half academic day a week to pursue a diverse range of activities, including but not limited to:

• Research
• Education
• Health policy
• Health equity
• Quality Improvement Projects
• Your own ideas!

Each Rad Combinator project should have clear goals and demonstratable milestones that residents will share every 6 months with the residency as they make progress.
