Interested in applying?
Applications to our training program are made through ERAS (Electronic Residency Application System). The deadline for receiving your completed DR residency and/or Integrated IR residency application through ERAS is typically October 15th each year. The Independent IR residency application process follows the radiology subspecialty match timeline. We require completion of one year of ACGME-accredited clinical training before beginning radiology residency. You should apply for these internships, typically done in internal medicine, surgery, or as a transitional year, independently through ERAS. Candidates for residency are considered during their fourth year of medical school and, less often, during or after their internship. Our positions are filled through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).
All applicants must meet the requirements to obtain a Pennsylvania Medical Training License to enter our ACGME accredited program. USMLE Step 2 is encouraged, but not required.
