PGY1 IR elective requirements at institutions w/o DR or IR residency for incoming DR resident

[AzBasRad]

Incoming PGY1 intern going into DR and interested in ESIR/IR. My TY program's institution does not have an ACGME accredited DR or IR residency. I know per ACGME rules, I cannot take DR electives at my institution. Does the same rule apply for IR electives as well?

Basically answered my own question upon further digging. Will leave this tread up for anyone else wondering the same question.

During the pre-requisite year, elective rotations in interventional radiology or diagnostic radiology must occur only in radiology departments with a diagnostic radiology or interventional radiology residency program that satisfies the requirements in III.A.2., and must not exceed a combined total of eight weeks
