Interventional Radiology Interview Day

Interventional Radiology Interviews are completely virtual this season. We will be offering morning and afternoon sessions where you will be meeting with our Program Directors, IR faculty, and our chief residents.

We understand the strain that virtual interviews may cause so to limit your screen time the day of your interview, we have uploaded a few new videos to our website. These are narrated by our residents and program directors Dr. Yen and Dr. Burdick, which you can view prior to your interview in case you have any questions. Please also reference our website where you can get a resident guided tour and lots of new video content featuring our staff and residents.

You will be interviewing with:
