Did you know... 08/03/2009
 
This is our first installment of our "Did you know..." series which will consist of posts that will help dispurse helpful information regarding the residency and our various residents.


Did you know that if you google "Celebrity Radiologist" one of the top hits is one of our very own residents?  Check it out, then give 'em a pat on the back!  RadiologyAZ is in the business of elevating every day hard workers to celebrity status.


Did you know that if you work on a holiday, you can get reimbursed for that day off in the form of another vacation day?  Just ask Norma for the form.

"When it comes to pearls, it's not the size that matters most, it's how you use them.  But when you have pearls like these, it's hard not to want to share."

"I usually will not cast my pearls before swine, but for Chris Reed, I'll make an exception."

"In regards to pearls, it doesn't matter if they're black or white!"

He has guns like a juiced up Arnold

He knows more about guns than the NRA

He's our brightest star, DR. MARK BERNER.

He may only have one star, Chris Dillon-- but his is BIGGER than yours!

Recent rave (and true) reviews about our newest STAR RADIOLOGIST include:

"Dr. Berner has consistently stood out as a
stellar reading physician. 
He is on time every time."

--Stephen Alden
referring to the results from
the department read time audit.

"...appreciation of a STAR Radiologist...
a well oiled machine...
 I feel compelled to share an appreciation
of one of our own radiologists with you. 
It has been with exceptional notation that Dr.
Mark Berner has made notations on a
consistent and prompt basis for our RN PICC Team."

--Mike Teschner RN, BSN, CCRN
Radiology RN PICC Team Leader

He prepared each neuro conference with the loving care of a breast feeding mother and guided us through difficult cases with tender gentleness.  The rich neuroradiology nourishment that we sucked from his nuk will never be forgotten.

 
 
 
 

In an effort to help connect our residency and radiology program while having a little fun and possibly promoting our program for potential candidates, I've added a blog feature to this website.

Check back frequently for highly anticipated articles such as "My Five Stars" by celebrity radiology resident Dr. Chris Dillon.

Though they only met briefly at Park City, Utah, Paris Hilton has since become Dr. Dillon's biggest fan.  She is seen here promoting Dr. Dillon's new audio book, "The Pressures of Being a 5 Star Resident."

And make sure not to miss "The Chang's and Reed's Plus Eight!" Jon, Kate, and Octomom better look out, because they have nothing on these guys.

Four years of hard work with dedicated, intense studying during the five months leading up to oral boards resulted in our seniors destroying the boards.  No clowns here.  But the real credit goes to the residents and attendings who stepped up their game to protect the dedicated "Senior Study Time" a major strength of the U of Arizona radiology residency program.
