Radiology Diversity Internship

The Department of Radiology at UCI recognizes that there is a lack of diversity and equity in the field of radiology in regard to both researchers and clinicians. A more diverse radiology team can address the concerns of and expand healthcare access for diverse communities, especially those that are traditionally underserved. Our department is looking to foster a diverse and inclusive environment by increasing trainee diversity through improved recruitment processes. We seek to engage with students of diverse backgrounds to promote an interest in radiology. As such, we have established a radiology summer internship for underrepresented medical students.

Applications for the Summer 2024 DEI Internship will no longer be accepted. Please check back in Fall 2024 for more updates. 

Students will shadow faculty from read-outs to performing examinations such as ultrasounds and gastro-intestinal follow-through. They will watch procedures and participate in clinics with interventional radiology faculty. Students interested in research may participate in pre-clinical translational research projects.

Interns will receive $2,500 to cover costs for the course of their 6-week internship with our department. All activities will take place in-person, either at the UCI Medical Center or the UCI School of Medicine campus. Awardees will be expected to be able to travel between sites as needed for projects and other sessions.
