Two positions are available in our Interventional Radiology-Integrated Residency Program per year. The program is five years in length and focuses in diagnostic radiology during the first three years and interventional radiology during the final two years. We also have a 6-year IR/Clinical Scientist track that includes a year of research. Medical students who want to specialize in Interventional Radiology may apply to the IR-Integrated Residency Program. This is an advanced program that starts at the PGY-2 level. For internship, we encourage medical students to apply to a strong internship in medicine or surgery. At UCSD, we offer a "categorical" residency option as a Joint Advanced/IM-Prelim Program during the MATCH.
