Mayo Clinic’s favorable faculty ratio, large patient population, and advanced diagnostic and therapeutic facilities create a five-year educational experience. An emphasis on education over service ensures strong teaching and a broad patient care experience during your residency.

Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida, is a destination medical center. The interventional radiology division offers high-level care with strengths in interventional oncology, transplantation, pulmonary intervention, and arterial and venous procedures. Services also include complex IVC filter retrieval, women’s and men’s health, gastrointestinal and genitourinary intervention, liver disease, and portal hypertension. The service performs a high volume of invasive, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures each year.  Eight board-certified interventional radiologists perform procedures in a modern facility with six interventional suites. A dedicated outpatient clinic supports a thriving consultation practice and enables longitudinal care for interventional radiology patients.

The field of interventional radiology has grown with advances in imaging quality, device miniaturization, and computing power. At Mayo Clinic, this growth is centered on patient needs, delivering high-quality care, and strong teamwork in multidisciplinary settings. The interventional radiology service focuses on each patient, building relationships, and delivering safe, effective treatment plans tailored to their needs.

The interventional radiology division also provides vascular imaging services that include CT and MR angiography.

After completing the Interventional Radiology Integrated Residency, you will be a highly qualified, well-rounded interventional radiologist. You will deliver high-quality clinical and procedural care in academic or private practice settings.

Before starting the integrated interventional radiology program, each trainee completes a one-year preliminary surgical internship. The goal is to build a strong clinical foundation for patient management, collaboration with referring providers, and participation in multidisciplinary settings, like tumor boards.

Accreditation

The program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

Certification

Graduates of the Interventional Radiology Integrated Residency qualify to take the Interventional Radiology/Diagnostic Radiology (IR/DR) examination. This is offered by the American Board of Radiology (ABR). Since the IR/DR certificate recognizes competency in both diagnostic and interventional radiology, certificate holders can practice both.

Program history

The Interventional Radiology Integrated Residency at Mayo Clinic's campus in Florida was approved in 2016. We anticipate that one trainee will complete this program annually with an expansion to two residents in the near future.
