Application Process for the Independent & Integrated IR Residencies

The UT Health San Antonio Independent Interventional Radiology Residency Program is a 1-2 year ACGME (advanced position) accredited program that caps 4 years of diagnostic radiology (DR) with 1-2 years of dedicated interventional radiology (IR) training, depending on ESIR participation (1 year with ESIR completion, 2 years without). Candidates may enter the independent IR Residency after finishing their diagnostic radiology residency.

The UT Health San Antonio Integrated Interventional Radiology Residency Program is a 5-year ACGME (advanced position) accredited program that integrates 3 years of diagnostic radiology (DR) with 2 years of dedicated interventional radiology (IR) training. Candidates may enter the integrated IR-DR Residency directly from medical school following a 1-year internship (Prelim-Surgery (preferred), Prelim-Medicine, or Transitional Year).

Candidates are chosen based on their medical education, achievements, and personal qualities. No preference is given to any particular medical school or geographic region, nor is race, sex or national origin a consideration.

Surgical Internship (Preferred for Integrated IR)

Completion of an ACGME-approved preliminary surgical internship is optional, but highly preferred prior to pursuing the integrated IR Residency Program.

During your interview with the integrated IR residency program (advanced position), an interview with the UT Health San Antonio surgical program will be offered if you would like to complete your internship in the same city as your residency (not mandatory). Even though it is preferred to rank a surgical preliminary year, candidates have the option of pursuing a preliminary medicine or transitional year prior to the start of training.
