Program Overview

Welcome to the Program

Eisenhower Health has developed a new Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program designed to prepare physicians for excellence in clinical radiology, scholarship, leadership and compassionate patient care.

Located in Rancho Mirage in California’s Coachella Valley, Eisenhower Health offers residents the opportunity to train in a growing, advanced and patient-centered health system serving a diverse regional population. Residents will learn in an environment that combines the breadth of community-based clinical practice with the structure, accountability and academic rigor expected of graduate medical education.
