Diagnostic Radiology Interest Group (DRIG)

Mission:

The purpose of the Radiology Interest Group at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix is to expose students to the field of diagnostic radiological medicine. To this end, the Diagnostic Radiology Interest Group hopes to host events that allow UACOM-P students to talk to physicians in the field, practice image analysis and learn how to integrate and correlate radiological findings with clinical information and other diagnostic data to ultimately provide better care for patients.

We will continue creating cases for “Radiology Case of the Month” to enhance radiology education at our school, as well as new and engaging meetings to help people learn more about the field of diagnostic radiology. Lastly, we will coordinate with UACOMP's various CHIP programs to provide community engagement, for example through Saturday Scrubs, to help inspire the next generation of physicians to pursue the field of DR, or radiology as a whole.
