Trinity Health Oakland-Wayne State University Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, Wayne State University-affiliated diagnostic radiology residency housed at Trinity Health Oakland, a 486-bed Catholic community teaching hospital and Level II trauma center in Pontiac, MI. The program is built around a private-practice core faculty model (Huron Valley Radiology group), offering broad subspecialty exposure and an Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) pathway for residents seeking to specialize early in IR. Fellowship placement is a defining outcome: graduates consistently match into competitive subspecialty fellowships (breast, neuroradiology, body/abdominal, MSK, IR) at academic centers including Johns Hopkins, Mayo, MGH/Harvard, University of Michigan, and multiple Canadian institutions, indicating a program oriented toward subspecialized fellowship training rather than general practice. The resident cohort reflects strong ties to Michigan medical schools (Wayne State, Michigan State, MSU-COM) alongside IMG and DO trainees, and the program operates within Trinity Health's mission-driven, community-service-oriented health system.
