Eric Bartlett
Activity Lead, Education
Dr. Eric Bartlett is a staff neuroradiologist within the head and neck section at the Joint Department of Medical Imaging (JDMI), and an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto.
Originally from the USA, Dr. Bartlett obtained a Master of Public Health in 1995 in the Department of Medicine from the University of Oklahoma (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA). In 1998, Dr. Bartlett obtained his MD in the Department of Medicine at the University of Oklahoma. His Diagnostic Radiology residency was completed at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, in Iowa City, Iowa (1999 to 2003). Following his residency, Dr. Bartlett came to the University of Toronto and completed a Neuroradiology Clinical Fellowship from 2003 to 2005 in the Department of Medical Imaging. Subsequently, Dr. Bartlett was appointed Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois from 2005 to 2007.
In July 2007, Dr. Bartlett returned to the University of Toronto and was appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Imaging, and as a Staff Radiologist at JDMI. In October 2013, he was appointed Program Director of the Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program, a leadership position he held until December 2020. Dr. Bartlett was appointed the Deputy Head of Education at JDMI in July 2021.
Dr. Bartlett has a keen interest in education and educational innovation, specifically in virtual education and competency-based teaching and education. Dr. Bartlett has educated in the virtual world since 2010 through his Head and Neck website (www.headandneckrad.com). His educational innovation as Program Director was acknowledged during the 2020 RCPSC Accreditation process for the Residency Program via mention of 3 unique “Leading Practices and Innovations” in the final accreditation report. Dr. Bartlett has received multiple teaching awards and awards for mentorship and resident wellness.
In his free time, Dr. Bartlett escapes to his farm property in rural Ontario where he spends time gardening, landscaping, and learning how to become a modern “homesteader.”
