Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is an academic, tertiary, Harvard Medical School-affiliated Integrated Interventional Radiology residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, described as one of the first ACGME-approved integrated IR programs, combining an internship year with three years of diagnostic radiology training and two years of dedicated IR training leading to a combined IR/DR certificate from the American Board of Radiology. Clinical training occurs across West and East Campus angio suites, an outpatient dialysis access center (AVCare), CT-guided ablation service, ICU and vascular surgery rotations, and a dedicated pediatric IR rotation at Boston Children's Hospital, exposing residents to a wide range of complex vascular and non-vascular procedures including uterine fibroid embolization, prostate artery embolization, and endovascular aortic aneurysm treatment. All residents are required to complete a scholarly project and a QA/QI project, with faculty-mentored research opportunities available within the section. The program emphasizes case-based individualized procedural teaching, multidisciplinary conferences, and regional society involvement such as NESIR and NERRS.
