The Kemcolians' Radiology Interest Group for students exploring diagnostic imaging, interventional radiology, research, and mentorship.

Case learning Mentorship Research pathways

About the group

A student home for radiology at KEMU.

KemRad brings together Kemcolians who want early exposure to the language, workflow, and future of medical imaging. The group is built around practical learning: reading cases, hearing from physicians, finding mentors, and seeing how radiology shapes decisions across every specialty.

Whether you are curious about your first chest X-ray or already thinking about diagnostic or interventional radiology, the group is a place to learn with peers and ask better clinical questions.
