Rochester Regional Health Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is the Interventional Radiology Residency at Rochester General Hospital, a dual-certificate Integrated IR/DR program built around a clinically-oriented model in which residents work up patients in a dedicated IR clinic, perform inpatient consults, round daily on IR patients, and follow them longitudinally. The first three years mirror Diagnostic Radiology training with added IR rotations, while the final two years are spent almost entirely on the IR service among seven board-certified interventional radiologists supported by four physician assistants and nurse practitioners. The program also runs an ESIR pathway for one selected diagnostic radiology resident per year and an Independent IR Residency for graduates of diagnostic radiology residencies elsewhere, reflecting a distinctive multi-track structure. The stated goal is to graduate confident, independent practitioners able to lead a true clinical IR service as well as function as productive diagnostic radiologists in academic or private practice.
