About this program
The University of Kentucky Department of Radiology runs a shadowing-type observership where learners watch physicians interact with patients, imaging studies, and clinical case discussions. The departmental page emphasizes that this is a hands-off experience and that anyone seeking observation must first apply through the university-wide Office of Observation and Learning Experience (OLE) before a departmental coordinator can onboard them. Routing is by applicant category: non-medical students go through Georganna King, medical students through Brandi Miller, interns/residents/fellows through Jennifer Britton. No new applications are accepted in June and July.
