Radiology residency timeline

The IR Residency differs from the traditional IR training pathway in the amount of time spent on diagnostic radiology (DR), interventional radiology and clinical rotations. Trainees can choose to follow the Integrated Residency and the Independent Residency.

The Integrated Residency consists of five years following a clinical internship year and provides training in interventional and diagnostic radiology under the supervision of the IR program director. Candidates match into the residency from medical school.

The Independent Residency consists of one to two years after having completed a diagnostic radiology residency. Traditional DR graduates will need to complete a two-year residency. hose that have graduated from a program that has an “early specialization in IR” designation will have a one-year residency. The Independent Residency will not start until 2020.
