ACGME: 4162000002

Program Director: Gaby E. Gabriel, MD

Program Coordinator: Joey Stuckelman

Start Date: July 1, 2025

The University of Kentucky Department of Radiology has an unexpected PGY2 Integrated Interventional Radiology resident position available beginning July 1, 2025.

The department of radiology is pleased to offer a new ACGME-accredited Integrated Interventional Radiology residency program. We invite you to join us in the endeavor of providing excellent minimally invasive therapies in a state-of-the-art facility while in an environment that will provide you with all of the clinical, teaching, and mentoring resources to succeed as an interventional radiologist.

What to expect:

Dynamic and continuously evolving specialty:
Interventional radiology (IR) is a dynamic and continuously evolving specialty that uses the complex toolbox of radiological imaging to guide minimally invasive interventions and treatments. It is truly an inspiring career. Charles Dotter is the founding father of the specialty and his famous quote will live on forever: “the angiographic catheter can be more than a tool for passive means of diagnostic observation; used with imagination, it can become an important surgical instrument." Dr. Charles Dotter.

Merging imaging expertise with technical and clinical skills:
The overall goal of our IR program is to merge imaging expertise with not only technical skills, but also clinical skills. The IR residents will take an active role in all aspects of patient care including image interpretation, evaluation of new patients, procedures, inpatient and outpatient care, patient follow-up, and will be given opportunities to be involved in research and participate in multidisciplinary boards.

Full gamut of vascular and nonvascular procedures:
The vascular and interventional radiology division at the University of Kentucky performs the full gamut of vascular and nonvascular procedures in both adult and pediatric populations. Included among these are diagnostic angiography, percutaneous angioplasty and stenting, embolization therapy, percutaneous tumor ablative therapies, thrombolysis, gastrointestinal/biliary interventions, genitourinary interventions, transplant interventions, dialysis fistula/graft evaluation and treatment, drainage and/or sclerosis, and vascular access. We have a very large volume of oncology work at our Chandler Medical Center as you would expect of a nationally ranked NCI (National Cancer Institute) Comprehensive cancer center and we are very active in both chemoembolization and SIRT as well as percutaneous ablative therapies such as microwave ablation and cryoablation. Our center is a busy liver, kidney, heart and lung transplant center providing a wide variety of complex cases.

Appointment and eligibility:

Candidates must, prior to July 1, 2025, have completed an ACGME-accredited clinical year, be eligible for Kentucky medical licensure, and meet all institutional requirements for appointment, including ACLS certification. International applicants must obtain ECFMG certification, a clinical visa, and a license to practice medicine in the Commonwealth of Kentucky prior to the start of residency training.
