University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Joe and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a large, academic, university-affiliated diagnostic radiology program (11 positions per PGY class) anchored at University Hospital, a Level 1 trauma and transplant center exceeding 700 beds, alongside the VA and the newer UT Health Multispecialty Research Hospital, giving residents a high-acuity, high-volume tertiary and safety-net clinical base. The department has a distinguished interventional radiology heritage (birthplace of the Palmaz stent) and offers both integrated and independent IR pathways, reflecting deep institutional investment in procedural subspecialty training alongside diagnostic education. Curriculum is structured around graduated call responsibility (buddy call through overnight ER and Neuro MRI call) and a two-year didactic cycle built around the Core Exam, with in-house fellowships spanning abdominal, breast, MSK, neuro, nuclear medicine, and IR. The program draws heavily from Texas-based MD and DO schools, suggesting an environment comfortable with osteopathic training backgrounds and regional medical school pipelines, while emphasizing steady clinical throughput and subspecialty exposure over an explicitly research-first identity.
