Boston University Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is an integrated Interventional Radiology residency at Boston Medical Center, a Level I trauma center and the largest safety-net hospital in New England, affiliated with Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. Residents train alongside seven full-time IR attendings and four full-time physician assistants, gaining exposure to trauma embolization, interventional oncology, vascular and non-vascular procedures, and image-guided therapies in five interventional suites including a biplane suite and hybrid OR. The clinical curriculum aligns with diagnostic radiology for the first three years before residents focus on IR in the final two years, completing 18 months of dedicated IR and 5 months of IR-related rotations, and the program offers an Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) pathway for one resident per class. Research, leadership, and quality improvement opportunities exist within a supportive academic environment, alongside longitudinal patient follow-up and multidisciplinary tumor board and vascular conferences.
