University of Cincinnati Medical Center Inc. Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is an ACGME-approved integrated Interventional Radiology residency based primarily at University of Cincinnati Medical Center, a Level 1 trauma center and high-volume liver, kidney, pancreas, and heart transplant program that also serves as part of the Cincinnati Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Center; the IR section handles over 8,000 patient encounters annually and the IR clinic evaluates over 1,000 patient encounters per year. The program accepts one resident per year, trains residents alongside diagnostic radiology colleagues through the R1-R3 years, and dedicates the R4 and R5 years largely to IR service, with residents completing approximately 28 dedicated IR rotations and becoming board eligible for both Interventional Radiology and Diagnostic Radiology. Residents rotate through Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati West Chester Hospital, and Cincinnati VA Hospital, and easily meet the 1,000 invasive image-guided procedures required during training, spanning interventional oncology, transplant interventions, dialysis access, venous disease, and other procedural domains. A preliminary surgery internship pathway at University of Cincinnati Medical Center is recommended, though not required, to prepare residents for the integrated curriculum.
