Positions

Categorical and advanced positions are available on a competitive basis each year in the Diagnostic Radiology Residency at Mayo Clinic's campus in Arizona. This year, the program will be recruiting for eight diagnostic radiology positions: six categorical positions and two advanced positions. The categorical positions are attached to a Transitional Year Residency (Arizona) at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, in which the matched resident starts internship at Mayo Clinic approximately 3.5 months after the residency match (“Categorical” positions) and then continues to the Diagnostic Radiology Residency approximately 15.5 months after the match.

Our program will also have two advanced positions available this year. These candidates will need to do their transitional year at a different institution prior to beginning residency training at Mayo Clinic. These candidates would start their Diagnostic Radiology Residency approximately 15.5 months after the match. For example, candidates who match in the 2026-2027 interview season will begin their Radiology Residency in July 2028.

I am incredibly blessed to train at the Diagnostic Radiology Residency in Arizona. As a transitional year intern, I appreciated the various rotations to work with faculty and residents early in my career. There are plenty of opportunities, financial support, and research mentorship. The culture here is so welcoming; the events and parties foster community and belonging. Lastly, as an outdoor enthusiast, I enjoy the desert scenery of this program’s location. There’s always a trail that awaits.
