Residency Tracks

Our program offers four pathways that residents can choose to pursue during their diagnostic radiology residency training to advance their professional training.  None of the pathways add additional year of training.

ESIR (Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology)

Nine months of interventional radiology (IR) training during senior year of diagnostic radiology residency and a total of 11 interventional radiology or IR-related rotations and an ICU rotation of at least four continuous weeks followed by one year of ACGME fellowship in IR.

ESNR (Early Specialization of Neuroradiology)

Six months of neuroradiology training during senior year of residency comprised of diagnostic and procedural training followed by one year of ACGME fellowship training in neuroradiology. 

NR/DR (Nuclear Radiology/Diagnostic Radiology)

A total of 16 months of nuclear radiology training throughout the four years of diagnostic radiology residency is required to obtain specialty certification in diagnostic radiology and subspecialty certification in nuclear radiology.

T32 NIH Research Scholar

One year of dedicated training in biomedical imaging research funded by the National Institute of Health during senior year of residency.  Our department has a long record of excellence in clinical and academic radiology research, and has one of the largest research enterprises funded through intra- and extramural funding and private donors. The T32 program exists to jumpstart the academic careers of junior radiology faculty and nuclear medicine faculty and to provide the essential foundation for developing a research program as an independent investigator.
