University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

UNMC's Diagnostic Radiology residency is an academic, subspecialty-oriented program anchored at Nebraska Medical Center, one of the five busiest multi-organ transplant centers in the country, generating substantial procedural and cross-sectional imaging volume across gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, pediatric, chest, mammography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, neuroradiology, and cardiovascular/interventional rotations. Training spans three affiliated sites - nine months at the Omaha VA Medical Center and roughly three months in pediatric radiology at Children's Nebraska - producing over 350,000 combined annual studies, with advanced angiography suites (Siemens AXIOM Artis, Philips Allura Biplane) supporting the interventional track. The program mandates a four-week AIRP course in Washington, D.C. (fully funded), reflecting an emphasis on pathologic correlation and structured subspecialty education, while resident participation in research is encouraged rather than positioned as a defining pillar. A separate five-year integrated IR pathway alongside the four-year DR track signals a program built for residents who want defined subspecialty depth and procedural exposure within a transplant-heavy, tertiary academic environment.
