Kevin C. McGill

Kevin C. McGill, MD, MPH, RMSK, MRMD, serves as Assistant Professor and Director of Musculoskeletal Interventions in the musculoskeletal imaging section at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). His clinical expertise spans CT, US, MRI, and DEXA interpretation for musculoskeletal conditions alongside image-guided procedures including joint injections, biopsies, and sclerotherapy.

Dr. McGill's academic foundation includes:

• Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Yale University
• Master's degree in Public Health from Yale University
• Radiology residency and fellowship in musculoskeletal imaging at Henry Ford Health System

His research and clinical innovation centers on advancing ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal biopsies for tumor diagnosis, transforming this once-uncommon procedure into the standard approach at UCSF. He prioritizes patient-centered care through pre- and post-procedure communication to alleviate anxiety during cancer diagnostics, emphasizing that these minimally invasive techniques enable swift, accurate diagnoses with minimal risk while reducing emotional and physical burdens.

Dr. McGill actively contributes to professional societies including the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS), International Skeletal Society, and Society of Skeletal Radiology. Nationally, he serves on the RSNA Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion/Professionalism Working Group and develops exam content for the Alliance for Physician Certification and Advancement.

At UCSF, he has established a comprehensive program for ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal interventions, significantly expanding the section's capabilities in tumor biopsy diagnostics. His work integrates clinical innovation with equity-focused initiatives through the Radiology Diversity Committee and URM Community Dinners, addressing systemic biases in medical education and residency admissions.
