Trainees in the Interventional Radiology Integrated Residency come from across the U.S. and around the world. See what a few of them have to say about training at Mayo Clinic. 

From the chief resident

An ideal interventional radiology residency should have great leadership, respect between all staff, excellent education, exposure to a wide variety of pathology/procedures, and, most importantly, dedication to top-notch patient care.

The interventional radiology department at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, provides expert clinical, diagnostic, and procedural care in a tertiary care setting near the beach! The department is well-staffed and there is an excellent balance between education and autonomy, beginning with learning how to manage consultations, learning vascular access, and procedure planning.

The ESIR and Integrated pathways begin with diagnostic training, which is paramount to becoming a well-rounded diagnostic and interventional radiologist. Our central EMR and PACS systems enable access to the wealth of clinical data from Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, providing ample additional teaching and research cases. We have, and continue to advocate for, our independent call, which we strongly believe will better prepare us for independent practice. With a limited fellow presence, our rotations are resident-focused with extensive procedure exposure and the opportunity to read and partake in advanced “fellow level” cases without competition.

At Mayo Clinic, we believe the “the needs of the patient come first." This philosophy transcends elsewhere, including the respect between doctors, nurses, and other staff. Our workplace culture, emphasis on resident education, and focus on clinical care make this an ideal place to begin your career in radiology.

We are excited that you are interested in our program and look forward to the opportunity to meet you in person!
