Christiana Care Health Services Inc Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is an academic, hospital-based Integrated Interventional Radiology residency at ChristianaCare, a large non-sectarian academic and community health system in Newark, Delaware that serves as a Level I trauma center and tertiary referral hub for Delaware, southern New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, and northeastern Maryland. The program offers one Integrated and one Independent Pathway position annually, with training built around a busy ICAVL-accredited vascular lab, a fully-staffed VIR clinical office, multidisciplinary tumor boards at the Helen Graham Cancer Center, and a pediatric IR rotation at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Faculty are described as highly active in clinical research producing numerous peer-reviewed publications annually, and residents have consistently presented at national and international conferences such as SIR, RSNA, CIRSE, and ISET, supported by dedicated biostatistician resources and travel stipends. The curriculum integrates a surgical clinical year with vascular surgery rotations and dedicated research blocks in later PGY years, reflecting both procedural volume and academic scholarship as program hallmarks.
