The Corewell Health – Grand Rapids/Michigan State University Interventional Radiology Residency is a six-year program providing comprehensive diagnostic and interventional educational experiences in all areas of radiology. We offer a broad exposure to all image-guided procedures with exceptional opportunities in oncologic, musculoskeletal, vascular, thromboembolic, and palliative/pain intervention.
Our case volume to trainee ratio is optimized to provide residents with the volume of cases and the hands-on experience needed to excel as attending physicians. We accept three residents into the program each year. The six-year program includes an integrated intern year modeled after our preliminary general surgery residency program.
Our program, your future
Mission statement
Educate residents to excel as patient-centered interventionalists and physician leaders who work to improve the health of their community.
Program aims
- Physician leaders who prioritize a team-centered multidisciplinary approach
- Experts at minimally invasive image-guided intervention utilizing a comprehensive clinical care approach
- Participate in research projects with the expectation of presenting findings at national meetings and at least one published manuscript
- Be well-trained in all six domains of ACGME core competencies
- Achieve a first-time pass rate of 100% on all board examinations
Faculty
The interventional radiology faculty consists of 14 full-time interventional radiologists with over 100 years of combined experience. Faculty come from diverse backgrounds and have trained at top institutions across the country. Under the direction of Interventional Radiology Section Chief William Slatter, MD, our IR practice is a unique private practice and academic hybrid that prepares trainees for any career path they choose beyond residency.
Facilities
All clinical rotations will occur within Corewell Health in West Michigan facilities.
Corewell Health Butterworth Hospital (part of Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals) is a 679-bed non-profit acute care teaching hospital in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. It serves as a Level 1 trauma center that provides radiology residents with most of their emergency radiology exposure as well as the high-risk OB referral center for West Michigan and the West Michigan regional burn center. In addition to cardiac transplantation, Corewell Health has also been recently approved for lung transplants. On average, 350,000 studies are performed annually.
Corewell Health Helen DeVos Children's Hospital (part of Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals) is home to West Michigan’s only full-service pediatric radiology department. Located in downtown Grand Rapids, Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital is the only free-standing children’s hospital in West Michigan. It has the only Level 1 pediatric trauma center in the area and in 2020-21 was nationally ranked in eight specialties.
The Corewell Health Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion received the American College of Radiology’s Breast Imaging Center of Excellence Award and is where residents complete rotations in PET.
Corewell Health Blodgett Hospital (part of Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals) is a 410-bed non-profit acute care teaching hospital with an active medical staff of 240 physicians in East Grand Rapids, Michigan. It houses an arthritis institute, which focuses on reconstructive surgery. Residents complete most of their fluoroscopy rotation here, where there is a substantial bariatric surgery population.
We also utilize the American Institute for Radiologic Pathology (AIRP) for a required rotation in the third year to focus on additional pathological studies. The program will assist with logistics and accommodations during this away rotation.

From the program director
Congratulations on choosing interventional radiology as your specialty! Since the first angioplasty was performed more than 50 years ago, interventional radiology has been at the forefront of medical innovation and remains an exciting, challenging, and ever-evolving field. I consider myself very fortunate to be part of such a dynamic specialty which provides a diverse array of procedures and clinical challenges.
The Corewell Health – Grand Rapids/Michigan State University Interventional Radiology Residency offers an exceptional breadth and depth of training experience in interventional and diagnostic radiology. Full spectrum clinical care is at the heart of our practice which encompasses two large hospitals (including a Level 1 trauma center), a dedicated pediatric hospital, an interventional radiology outpatient clinic, and a separate outpatient cancer center. Graduates have the skillset needed to succeed in a long and rewarding career in any practice setting.
Corewell Health in West Michigan is the largest hospital system in the area, providing care to a diverse patient population across a 13-county area. As the largest metropolitan area in West Michigan, Grand Rapids combines many of the amenities of a big city with the charm, affordability, and relaxed nature of the Midwest.
I appreciate your interest in our program and look forward to meeting you.

MD, MBI program director, interventional radiology residency
