Program details
Diagnostic radiology residents who want to train in an independent IR residency apply during their R3 (PGY-4) year via the ERAS ACGME/RCPSC/UCNS Fellowship - December cycle and NRMP Radiology Fellowship Match (ERAS and NRMP classify the independent IR residency as a fellowship for match purposes). The NRMP Radiology Fellowship Match Day typically occurs in June for positions that start in July of the following year (PGY-6).
Diagnostic radiology residents who complete an ACGME approved ESIR curriculum can place into the second year of the independent residency, reducing training time to one year. Please visit the ESIR webpage for more information about ESIR requirements.
Graduates of the independent IR residency qualify to take the IR/DR examination offered by the American Board of Radiology (ABR). The IR/DR certificate recognizes competency in both diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology. For more information, please visit the ABR website.
For more information about the IR residency, visit the SIR IR residency webpage or contact gme@sirweb.org.
