This one-year subspecialty program is open to qualified applicants who have completed an ACGME-accredited pediatric radiology or neuroradiology fellowship. The neuroradiology section reads over 100,000 cases and performs more than 2,700 procedures each year, with 100% of cases reviewed with faculty who are recognized experts in their fields. And thanks to a nationally ranked tertiary medical center, world-class neuroscience institute and pediatrics department, and partnership with St. Louis Children’s Hospital, fellows receive unparalleled training in pediatric neuroradiology. of only a handful of centers nationwide with this status.

They have a leadership role on the pediatric neuroradiology service at St. Louis Children’s and rotate through the adult neuroradiology service at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
