Curriculum

Our program builds off the preliminary surgical year and outstanding diagnostic radiology experience to deliver comprehensive training in all aspects of interventional radiology. Close resident supervision and individual instruction allow the resident to work on a one-on-one basis with subspecialized faculty members. Monthly competency-based resident evaluations provide feedback from which the residents self-assess their level of performance and rate of progress.  

This all-inclusive categorical program with a transitional year in preliminary surgery included provides residents the opportunity to work alongside the clinicians and patients they will serve as interventional radiologists later on. Residents will be able to perform radiologic examinations and procedures competently, safely, and always with compassion.
