The program integrates diagnostic training with the technical skills needed for minimally invasive interventions. Trainees receive instruction from nationally and internationally recognized leaders in radiology, covering various specialties such as cardiac, thoracic, musculoskeletal, trauma imaging, vascular, neuro-vascular, and cross-sectional interventional techniques.

Residents at the University of Maryland Medical Center gain extensive experience in various interventions, including interventional oncology, transplant interventions, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, dialysis, arteriography, women's health, men's health, venous intervention, pulmonary embolism, musculoskeletal interventions, lymphangiography, pediatric interventions, and vascular procedures. The program encourages and supports resident research, offering opportunities within the Vascular and Interventional Radiology Division.

The application process for the Integrated Interventional Radiology Residency program at the University of Maryland Medical Center requires submission through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Applications are accepted from senior medical students and graduates of approved medical schools with house officer training.
