Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated, academic, tertiary-care Interventional/Diagnostic Radiology integrated residency at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, combining three years of diagnostic radiology with two years of interventional radiology across two major procedural sites, including the NCI-designated OSUCCC-James Comprehensive Cancer Center. The program emphasizes very high procedural volume, exceeding 8,500 patient encounters annually and anticipating over 2,000 cases per trainee, with a particularly developed interventional oncology practice offering chemoembolization, radioembolization, cryoablation, and ablation techniques, as well as a strong focus on complex venous interventions. Training occurs across multiple hospital and ambulatory sites, with additional pediatric radiology experience at Nationwide Children's Hospital and vascular surgery training at Fairfield Medical Center. Scholarly activity is encouraged as part of advancing the field, and the program also offers an ESIR pathway and an Independent IR Residency track for diagnostic radiology graduates.

Who it fits

Applicants drawn to high-volume interventional oncology and complex procedural training within a large academic cancer-center environment will find their interests aligned here.

Research intensity

Moderate - residents are encouraged to contribute to IR literature and pursue scholarly activity, but research is not described as the program's central focus.

Career orientation

Fellowship - the program trains residents toward interventional radiology practice with dedicated tracks (ESIR, Independent IR) and a strong procedural/subspecialty orientation.

Important

Applicants are ideally in the fourth year of medical school, though non-traditional applicants are accepted with the understanding that training would not begin until 15 months after the match; the application requires a dean's letter, personal statement, and three additional letters of recommendation, and a virtual interview is a required part of selection.
