Program Identity & Fit

This is the integrated Interventional Radiology residency at an academic, university-affiliated department in Lexington that also runs diagnostic radiology, independent IR, and multiple subspecialty fellowships, reflecting a large, subspecialized faculty base. The program draws on a large catchment area across Kentucky, exposing trainees to a wide breadth of pathology and complex referral cases from urban and rural settings. Selection draws on the full application file including CV, transcripts, Dean's letter, letters of recommendation, and personal statement rather than a single metric, and interviews are conducted virtually. The program appoints residents through NRMP into advanced PGY-2 positions following a required preliminary clinical year.

Who it fits

Applicants who have secured or plan to secure an accredited preliminary clinical year and want broad procedural and pathology exposure within a Kentucky-based academic radiology department fit this program well.

Research intensity

Moderate - the college emphasizes institutional research funding and opportunities for trainees, but the radiology-specific page does not describe a structured research requirement for IR residents.

Career orientation

Fellowship - the program is structured around advanced subspecialty training, sits within a department offering numerous named fellowships, and requires completion of a preliminary year before entry.

Program signals

The supplemental ERAS application, which is optional, allows applicants to indicate geographic preferences by division and by urban or rural setting and to submit program signals intended to help the program identify applicants who fit its setting and mission.

Important

A minimum of three letters of recommendation is required, with up to four accepted, and applicants are asked to have letters primarily from physicians who can address their clinical abilities; a completed, ACGME-approved (or equivalent) preliminary clinical year is required prior to starting, and residents must be eligible for Kentucky medical licensure.
