NYU Grossman School of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

NYU Grossman's Diagnostic Radiology Residency is a four-year academic program embedded in a major tertiary/quaternary university health system, with core rotations spanning Tisch Hospital and Kimmel Pavilion, NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital, NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue (safety-net), and the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System, giving residents exposure across academic, public, and veteran patient populations. The program's fourth year offers a distinctive 6-12 month subspecialty "concentration" modeled on fellowship training, an ESIR pathway for early interventional specialization, and a customized early-subspecialization research track built for residents pursuing academic careers. Research is deeply institutionalized through the Bernard and Irene Schwartz Center for Biomedical Imaging and the NIH-funded CAI2R, with residents given dedicated research time, mentorship, conference funding, and expectations to present at RSNA, AAR, and ARRS. Graduates predominantly move into fellowship training and academic positions, including chairs and department leaders, reflecting a program identity centered on producing academic radiologists and subspecialty experts rather than general community practitioners.
