The McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University Program offers an ACGME-approved Interventional Radiology (IR) Residency that provides comprehensive expertise in diagnostic imaging, image-guided procedures, and patient care. Graduates from this program will be board-certified in both diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology.
The IR Residency program at Northwestern offers two pathways for training: the Integrated Residency and the Independent Residency. The Integrated Residency lasts five years following a clinical internship year and gives trainees training in interventional and diagnostic radiology. Candidates match into this residency directly from medical school. On the other hand, the Independent Residency lasts one to two years and is taken after completing a diagnostic radiology residency. Traditional DR graduates will need to complete a two-year residency, while those from a program with "early specialization in IR" designation will undergo a one-year residency. The Independent Residency is set to begin in 2020.
