Welcome to ARI Academy

The expansion of high-end imaging equipment across India has resulted in a rapidly growing demand for well-trained Radiologists. However, the current depth and breadth of radiology residency training in India are not fully optimal due to the short duration of training. With the massive expansion seen in Radiology over the last few decades, three years of training is not adequate to gain competence in general radiology and to further subspecialize in an area of interest.

At ARI Academy, we recognize the need for Indian Radiologists to have access to wider training and qualification opportunities. Unfortunately, the limited opportunities available for super specialization within India mean that many radiologists invest significant resources to obtain international qualifications and training. We aim to address this issue by providing innovative and accessible opportunities for Indian Radiologists to enhance their radiological knowledge and skills.

Our partnership with the Royal College of Radiologists and the FRCR centre enables us to offer comprehensive training programs for Indian Radiologists. Additionally, we are working on multiple other programs that complement the current Indian radiology training, right from the first year. We do this in association with other international educational institutions and organizations, as well as prominent Indian-origin radiologists working in renowned institutions overseas.

At ARI Academy, we are committed to providing the highest quality of education to our students. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of Indian Radiologists and to ensure that they receive the training and qualifications necessary to advance their careers and benefit the specialty itself and numerous patients across the country.
