The Maine Medical Center Dept. of Radiology has a tradition of excellence in residency training.  The MMC Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program was established in the 1950s as one of the first GME programs in the hospital.  The first IR resident clinic in the United States was founded at MMC in 2008.  Established in 2016, the MMC Integrated IR Residency was among the first to be accredited by the ACGME.  The MMC DR and IR programs remain the only radiology residencies in the state of Maine.  MMC is a 700-bed tertiary referral center and Maine’s only Level I Trauma Center.  Our faculty consists of over 40 radiologists including 8 IR, 1 NIR and 4 PAs.  There are 3 DR and 1 IR residents per year.

UAB is the 7th largest medical center in the US with nearly 1,200 beds at the main campus. We also provide IR services to a nearly 400 bed children's hospital. UAB is a busy transplant and trauma center which provides residents with a high-volume and breadth of image-guided procedures. Procedural experience is balanced with a robust clinical training, including an inpatient consult service and an ambulatory clinic which sees approximately 2,000 patients each year. Collaborative rotations with neuro-interventional radiology and vascular surgery help to round out resident education. 

If interested or have questions about the position, please email Dr. AJ Gunn.
