Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated, academic integrated Interventional Radiology residency in which residents rotate through three University of Minnesota-affiliated hospitals in Minneapolis, gaining experience in adult and pediatric vascular and non-vascular interventions under subspecialized faculty. The program describes a high procedural volume across a broad range of interventions including TIPS, BRTO, tumor embolization and ablation, dialysis access, and vascular malformation embolization, alongside substantial non-invasive vascular imaging training. Residents take call with supervising faculty and manage patients from pre- to post-procedural care, reflecting a patient-care-driven clinical model rather than a purely diagnostic-imaging focus. Research participation is encouraged and supported by the department but is not a mandatory component of training.
