interventional radiology

Hey everyone, I’m finalizing my rank list for the Independent IR match and would really appreciate some input from current fellows and attendings regarding how to stratify these programs. I want to graduate as a competent IR clinician (most important to me) and well-rounded operator. My...

Was hoping to get people's thoughts on this rank list. I am trying to balance name brand of associated hospital (will this help with job prospects or opening up my own practice someday?) with the strength of the IR program. The exception is MCVI, which I don't think has much name recognition...

I finished IR fellowship and passed my written DR boards years ago, but due to a series of life challenges, I haven't able to take the IR oral boards until this year. I've been out of academics for a long time and am having trouble finding resources to study for the IR oral boards. Can you...

I'm currently a third year medical student looking to apply to integrated IR and will probably apply to DR as a backup. So far I have done my psych, IM, and peds rotations, and am working on building an elective plan for fourth year. I don't have a home program, but was wondering if anyone had...

So I'm currently in my third year rotations and am debating between pursuing two very different fields, interventional radiology and pediatric neurology (but hear me out). The parts of this decision that I am considering are lifestyle, procedural, salary, and doing what I like. Interventional...

Can anyone comment on current impressions on differences in training quality, resident experience, prestige, etc. between the major NYC integrated IR/DR programs? I believe there’s been a shake-up in the past few years in chiefs and # of fellowship spots (not sure if this has changed anything)...

TLDR: I'm applying to radiology this upcoming cycle but I'm worried that I will miss the OR and patients. This past week I had a ton of fun with robotic/laparoscopic surgeries, and an attending who knows me well told me my personality and surgery preferences point towards ENT or Urology. He...

hi everybody! i'm about to wrap up this interview season and need advice on ranking IR programs. with the virtual nature of everything this year, it's been tough to get a true feel for each place, and the clinical quality of many programs seems comparable. i'd appreciate any insights you have...

I am a current PGY2 in Internal Medicine. I wanted radiology but didnt match initially. I intend to apply to radiology this cycle and starting it after completing my internal medicine residency in a year. Anyone know if having done an IM residency will be looked on favorably or be advantageous...

Hello, I am a Canadian medical student interested in applying for a 1 month rotation in the US in IR. I don't know much about US radiology programs, so I was hoping to find some help here. I am VERY interested in interventional oncology, so I'll ask my question in 2 parts: - what are the...

What do you think of the current data on PAE? Do you think it could ever cut into the bottom line/current practice of urologists, and further do you see any other interventional procedures that may take specific therapies out of the hands of urologists.

Hey, gang! I'm new to the idea of osteopathic medicine and was curious about how one would go about obtaining an interventional radiology residency as a DO. Would this change as a result of the 2020 merger? This is already a very tough residency to gain for MDs, will it be impossible after the...

Hey all- I'm an R3 on the ESIR track starting to research the programs in earnest and putting my application together. I noticed yesterday that only about 1/3 of the 58 programs with approved independent residencies are listed as participating in the match. Between what I heard at the SIR panels...

I'm interested in pursuing IR, and as a DO this is really hard to do via the integrated pathway, and in general. So the advice I've gotten is --> high quality DR program-->high quality IR fellowship. The best route for this is probably a program that has ESIR, so that I'll have a better chance...

I have a few weeks between interviews to start to gather my notes and **** but I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me sort through my rank list. Considerations are: 1) Want to go into academic IR, so research (especially basic/translational/device development) is very important to...

Hey all, I'm at an academic university-related program in the Bronx, NYC, NY. Looking to transfer to a program with a strong IR program so that I may further my career. Thanks!

I'm currently a general surgery pgy1 resident. Unfortunately it took me 6 months into my intern year to realize that my professional interests are aligned with a career in radiology rather than surgery. It took me some time to come to this realization but I definitely want to make this career...

Hello IR docs of SDN, I've done some googling and there is surprisingly scarce information on this aside from 1 or two articles. What is the call schedule like as an IR attending and how often do you have to go in? From my IR rotation so far, I've seen that the fellows that go into PP have a...

I'm about to be a 4th year in an average state school in Texas and I will be applying for DR/IR residency in 2018. I'm planning on doing 2 aways and I was wondering if you guys had any experience in any programs? Any recommendations? Places should I avoid? Looking at UCSF, Stanford, UCSD...

Hey all, I'm posting this here because much of what I wrote is applicable to DR just as much as IR. It's a long article; I wrote more than I thought I would, and yet still want to write more. Done is better than perfect, so here it is: My experience applying to residency in Interventional...

I know I want to be an interventional radiologist; I am convinced it is everything I want out of a medical career. That being said, there is no way I am going to match to the new IR residency, nor a radiology (ESIR) residency. My gpa is too low, I go to LECOM, I doubt I will be able to publish...

Current R1 in a top 30 DR program trying to figure out what the hell I want to do. Being that I'm in the limbo year between the DR/IR combined residency and the end of one year IR fellowships, I'm not sure what my best options are. I love doing procedures, but I'm not sure how much I LOVE the...

So I will be applying IR this coming year and I've read a lot about this prelim year requirement. More specifically, some programs require a surgical prelim which is fine but others "strongly encourage" or do not specify. My questions are: 1) How necessary is it to do the surgical prelim year...

Hey guys! I'm doing an away rotation in Radiology. The away will be after my home rotation. I was wondering if its a big deal if after my away rotation I ask to switch the elective to something else in the same department? Ex. lets say my away is for a IR but I really liked Peds rads. Can I...

Congrats to everyone for submitting their IR Integrated RESIDENCY application for the 2017 cycle. Let's start up a thread to help each other keep abreast of interview dates. Similar threads for other specialties have the following format (DR thread...

Hi all, MS4 looking at prelim intern programs prior to starting an Interventional Radiology residency. Technically, I can do a Transition year, prelim med, or prelim surgery program. It's my understanding that intern year generally sucks no matter what you do (hours, scut work, etc.). Of...
