The division of interventional radiology is staffed by eight board certified interventional radiologists that bring a wealth of diverse clinical experience and research interests to your training. Their broad training throughout the country, connections in the field, and research footprint will not only strengthen your training but also facilitate your search for academic and private practice positions towards the end of your residency.

The Department of Radiology is fully integrated with all the medical services available at Mayo Clinic. More than 60 radiologists and five physicists cooperate with hundreds of support staff to provide diagnostic and therapeutic radiology services to patients.

Experts in all areas of radiology consult with specialists in other departments to provide the best care to every patient every day, consistent with Mayo's mission. Radiologists work with state-of-the-art equipment, assisted by skilled technologists and nurses, to perform and interpret more than 320,000 examinations yearly. This large number of cases, integrated with ongoing research and education, results in wide-ranging expertise in the imaging and treatment of diseases affecting patients of all ages.

In addition to caring for patients in their clinical practices, Mayo Clinic's faculty members are committed to teaching and facilitating the growth of medical knowledge.
