Radiology for Medical Students
Interested in getting to the center of clinical work?
Well, it is true that radiologists often sit behind huge monitors. Did you know though that major therapeutic decisions often depend on imaging findings – both in emergency situations and in patients with chronic disease? And radiologists not only look at images - they also treat patients, for example patients with vascular conditions or benign and malignant tumors. Get an insight into the world of medical imaging and discover a fascinating and diverse medical specialty – a specialty that has undergone rapid technological advances and has gained an important role in the management of many diseases.
You are here:
Department of Radiology at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin
The Department of Radiology is located at all three clinical campuses of the Charité – at Campus Benjamin Franklin (CBF), at Campus Charité Mitte (CCM), and at Campus Virchow-Klinikum (CVK). With a staff of about 50 board-certified and senior radiologists and 60 residents, our department offers the full range of state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging procedures and image-guided treatments with different specialized services at each campus.
Our department provides an ideal environment to learn the basics of radiology – not just for your exam. The insights you can gain in radiology will help you in your future practice of medicine, whether you wish to become a radiologist or choose another specialty. Interested? Send us your application.
