Program Identity & Fit

This is a six-year integrated interventional radiology residency combining a diagnostic radiology core with dedicated IR training, delivered through Corewell Health's Grand Rapids hospitals in academic affiliation with Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. Clinical training occurs across Level 1 trauma, high-risk obstetric, burn, and pediatric referral centers, with a described hybrid private-practice and academic IR faculty group under a single section chief. The program accepts three residents per year and emphasizes case volume for hands-on procedural experience across oncologic, musculoskeletal, vascular, thromboembolic, and pain/palliative intervention. Research is expected but framed practically, with case reports/series as the typical output and larger longitudinal studies available for more academically oriented residents.

Who it fits

An applicant seeking high procedural case volume within a community-academic hybrid IR practice who wants exposure to trauma, oncologic, and vascular intervention without a heavily research-driven track.

Research intensity

Moderate - residents are expected to present at national meetings and publish at least one manuscript, with case reports and larger studies available depending on interest.

Career orientation

Mixed - Community Practice, Academic Medicine

Audition rotation

Student - Visiting medical student elective rotations are offered through the AAMC Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) program, with applications accepted for the next academic year starting April 1 through the end of January, and questions directed to Medical Student Scheduling.

Important

Elective rotation applications are prioritized for students from affiliated schools (Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and Meharry Medical College), then fourth- or final-year students from other accredited U.S. medical schools, then final-year international students who have demonstrated a tie to West Michigan.
