Interventional Radiology (IR) Integrated Residency

IR Integrated Residency at BIDMC

BIDMC is proud to be one of the first ACGME-approved integrated Interventional Radiology programs. It consists of an internship year followed by three years of DR training and two years of IR training. Physicians graduating from this program will receive a combined IR/DR certificate from the American Board of Radiology ABR, pending successful completion of a final certification exam.

We offer three positions for the IR Integrated Residency program in the Match. The first three years and four months will closely parallel the existing diagnostic radiology curriculums, with clinical rotations on the core diagnostic sub-specialties, including ultrasound, mammography, abdominal imaging, chest radiology, emergency radiology, and musculoskeletal radiology. This time will also include rotations on interventional radiology and other procedural rotations. The diagnostic lecture series, didactic activities, diagnostic call, and other educational elements of the program will be combined with the DR residency, in addition to monthly IR Journal Clubs and IR Case Conferences.

Beginning in the PGY-5 year of the IR Integrated residency, residents will spend dedicated time on the Interventional Radiology service, including IR-related rotations, e.g., Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and vascular surgery, in addition to procedure performance in the IR suites. A total of 24 blocks of IR rotations will be completed before graduation. Based on our current volume, residents will comfortably meet all ACGME procedural and image interpretation requirements. Above all, our department prides itself on being supportive of its residents and places a strong emphasis on the quality of individualized teaching in procedural techniques.
