Industry giant Rad Partners now has about 200 radiology residents working across 10 different programs, according to a recently published news update. 

Since May 2022, the El Segundo, California-based practice’s radiologists have delivered free monthly education to these physician trainees. This has included didactic, interventional and career topics, aimed and supporting the development of residency program participants. 

RP said it has two more residency program slated to launch in 2026. In addition, the Radiology Partners Research Institute has developed curriculum focused on artificial intelligence and the business of imaging and expects to publish new research within the next month. 

“Our investments in research and education are driving real-world impact—improving care delivery and outcomes today, while equipping the next generation of radiologists to lead with innovation and purpose,” Krishna Nallamshetty, MD, chief medical officer, said in a June 4 announcement.

Rad Partners’ Research Institute also has three more studies under review. The practice highlighted recently published research from its physicians, covering topics such as referring clinicians’ reporting preferences and common barriers to lung cancer screening. Backed by Whistler Capital Partners and New Enterprise Associates, RP is the largest imaging group in the U.S. with about 4,000 physicians servicing 3,400 hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Its research institute works in collaboration with academic medical institutions to translate research into clinical practice and explore how imaging “can deliver greater value for patients, providers and hospitals.”
