Ohio State University Hospital Program
Interventional radiology - independent - Columbus, OH | ACGME Code: 4153842003
The Ohio State University Hospital Program offers an Interventional/Diagnostic Radiology (IR/DR) Integrated Residency Program. This is a five-year program starting post-internship, consisting of three years of diagnostic radiology and two years of interventional radiology. They accept both traditional applicants in their fourth year of Medical School and non-traditional applicants, with training starting 15 months post-match.
The Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program at Ohio State University also has an ACGME-approved Early Specialization in Radiology (ESIR) curriculum. These residents later need to match in an Independent IR Residency to complete their training.
The Interventional Radiology - Independent Residency Program at Ohio State University offers up to two positions per year, starting in 2020. Resident selection is first from the Integrated program, then supplemented by the Independent Match if needed. This is technically a two-year position, but completion of an accredited ESIR curriculum allows residents to skip the first year, making it effectively a one-year position.
Application requirements include submitting through ERAS and providing various documents such as the Dean's letter, official medical school transcript, USMLE or COMLEX scores, personal statement, and three letters of recommendation. Virtual interviews are conducted via Zoom for both programs.
The application deadline for the Integrated Residency is October 4, 2023, with interviews conducted virtually. For the IR Independent program, applicants must have completed an accredited Diagnostic Radiology program with ESIR designation. The application deadline is December 13, 2023, with interviews from January through March. The program does not sponsor work visas for applicants.
The program provides a diverse range of interventional experiences, including image-guided interventions in oncology, hepatobiliary, genitourinary, and venous pathology, among others. The practice volume per trainee exceeds 2000 cases, and trainees receive exposure to a wide variety of cases meant to enhance their skills.
