The University of Pennsylvania Health System Program offers a Dual Certificate IR/DR Integrated residency, making it one of the first programs in the country to do so. The Interventional Radiology residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) provides three different tracks: a five-year Integrated IR/DR program, a one-year Independent IR program, and a two-year Independent IR program.
Candidates who join the Integrated Interventional/Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program will train alongside diagnostic radiology residents for their first three years before focusing solely on interventional radiology during the final two years. This program allows residents to complete all requirements for both Interventional Radiology and Diagnostic Radiology board eligibility by the end of five years.
For those interested in Independent Interventional Radiology Residency Programs, students can choose between a one-year program for those who fulfilled ESIR requirements during diagnostic radiology residency or a two-year program for those needing additional preparation.
Residents at the program will get exposure to various patient care experiences, covering areas like arterial disease, gender-specific health, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract interventions, oncology, venous disease, and more.
The program takes place at state-of-the-art facilities at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Philadelphia Veterans Affairs, and Pennsylvania hospitals. Educational resources include daily conferences, weekly didactic lectures, IR Chief Rounds, and research opportunities presented by faculty dedicated to advancing Interventional Radiology.
Leadership at the program includes Dr. Susan Shamimi-Noori, Program Director for Interventional Radiology, Dr. Shilpa Reddy, Associate Program Director, Dr. Mary Scanlon, Program Director for Diagnostic Radiology Residency, Dr. Neil Harrison, Chair of Integrated Radiology Resident Selection Committee, and Dr. Ansar Vance, Chair of Interventional Radiology Resident Selection Committee.
