Thank you for your interest in our Interventional Radiology Residency Program. Our program’s mission is to provide excellence in both Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology training in order to create the next generation of highly competent, well-rounded, and responsible clinical radiologists. We achieve this by creating a culture of scholarship, research, clinical excellence, and leadership which allows our trainees the opportunity to excel within, and advance the field of Interventional Radiology at local, regional, and national levels. Strong emphasis is placed on training our residents to be critical members of the care team who are confident in their ability to compassionately manage patients before and after procedures, in addition to performing the procedure itself. We strive to provide the educational framework to graduate residents who are problem solvers and are able to learn new procedures and adopt new technologies after formal training has ended, as well as to create a culture of lifelong learning and scientific literacy.

If you have any questions that are not answered to your satisfaction on this website feel free to contact our Program Coordinator, Cara Hoover (radadmin@uic.edu).
