Westchester Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

Westchester Medical Center's diagnostic radiology residency is a university-affiliated, academic program (major teaching hospital for New York Medical College) built around a 1:1 faculty-to-resident ratio and a fellow-free department, ensuring residents receive direct, one-on-one subspecialty attending supervision rather than competing with fellows for cases. Training occurs entirely on the Valhalla campus, spanning Level 1 adult and pediatric trauma care at University Hospital and Maria Fareri Children's Hospital, outpatient imaging, and remote community-hospital coverage at MidHudson Regional, giving residents both tertiary/quaternary complexity and community-volume exposure. The program supports two Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) slots per class for residents committed to IR, alongside a research-active culture reflected in regular resident presentations at national meetings and a 100% five-year ABR pass rate. Graduates consistently enter competitive fellowships and go on to both academic and private practice, indicating a program that values residents who are engaged, self-directed learners comfortable functioning as core clinical team members rather than passive observers.
