Program Identity & Fit

Emory's Interventional Radiology-Integrated Residency is a five-year program that follows a transitional-year internship, based at a university-affiliated academic medical center in Atlanta; the first three years mirror diagnostic radiology training before the program concentrates on procedural interventional radiology in the IRI-4 and IRI-5 years, with clinical rotations in vascular surgery, transplant hepatology, surgical ICU, critical care/pulmonary ICU, medical oncology, and medical consultation services. Graduates are eligible to sit for the combined IR/DR certification examination through the American Board of Radiology. The department also offers an Independent IR fellowship-equivalent pathway and an ACGME-approved Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) track for diagnostic radiology residents who meet procedural volume requirements. Research participation, including projects related to interventional radiology and involvement with the Society of Interventional Radiology, is described as evidence of commitment to the field during application review.

Who it fits

A medical student set on a procedural, image-guided subspecialty career who has already built demonstrated involvement in interventional radiology research or the Society of Interventional Radiology alongside strong preclinical and clinical performance.

Research intensity

Moderate - research and IR-related project involvement are considered in review as evidence of commitment to the field.

Career orientation

Fellowship - the integrated pathway builds procedural interventional radiology specialization directly into residency, culminating in combined IR/DR board certification.

Program signals

ERAS provides a mechanism for using signals to indicate level of interest in the program, and applicants are instructed not to send separate correspondence outside of ERAS to express preference during the interview period.

Important

Applicants must complete or have completed at least one year of ACGME-accredited postgraduate training in a clinical specialty such as internal medicine, transitional year, or surgery; membership in AOA and participation in projects or research related to interventional radiology and the Society of Interventional Radiology are noted as showing commitment to the field.
