A career in radiology

There are several radiology conferences and meetings for medical students and resident doctors, with opportunities to present posters, and win essay competitions. There are links to these, as well as much more useful information, on the Radiology Cafe website.

There is an "Imaging Research Network" (IRN) which meets regularly to share ideas, develop research skills, and promote collaboration between clinical and academic colleagues. Each session focuses on a different aspect of research, supporting staff at all stages of their research journey — from those just starting out to experienced researchers. Join the mailing list here.

The IRN will collaborate and offer any opportunities for research to the "Leicester University Medical Research Society" (LUMRS).

Please do consider joining us for Student Selected Components 'SSC' in Year 3 and Year 5; applications for these are via the usual SSC application scheme. We will not facilitate any clinical attachments outside of the SSCs.

Stay tuned for a brand new scheme to facilitate experience in radiology audits and quality improvement projects, launching in January 2026.
