At the MU School of Medicine Department of Radiology, we have an exemplary faculty with subspecialists in all areas of radiology.
Diagnostic Radiology Residency
The Diagnostic Radiology residency program at the University of Missouri School of Medicine offers premier graduate training in all areas of diagnostic radiology, including neuroradiology, interventional radiology, MSK, chest, body, mammography, nuclear medicine, and pediatric imaging. We currently accept five residents into our program each year.
- We strive to foster collaboration among colleagues at all levels while creating a conducive learning environment.
- Residents are exposed to wide variety of cases throughout their training, bolstering their confidence and assisting in the transition to becoming independent practitioners.
- There is ample opportunity to hone teaching skills as undergraduates and medical students frequently shadow in the department, completing clinical rotations, or working on research projects.
- The program offers a wide array of research opportunities making it an excellent place to develop a career in academic medicine, in addition to becoming well prepared to enter private practice.
- Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology Residency (ESIR)
- We offer the ESIR pathway through our diagnostic radiology residency program. The ESIR track allows residents the opportunity to receive additional procedural and clinical training during their 4-year diagnostic radiology residency.
- We have one ESIR position in each of the R2, R3, and R4 classes.
- Interested residents should submit a letter of intent by August 1 of their R2 year.
- Completion of an ESIR residency allows advance placement into the second year of an independent IR residency, decreases total training for IR from 7 to 6 years.
- More information about the ESIR program can be found online at Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR).
Nuclear Medicine Residency
Each year, we accept one individual for our Nuclear Medicine Residency program. This ACGME-accredited program provides exceptional training in the full spectrum of nuclear medicine including SPECT/CT, PET/CT, nuclear cardiology, and radionuclide therapy.
Independent Interventional Radiology Residency
This residency will be available to residents in diagnostic radiology who wish to do additional training in interventional radiology. Preference will be given to our diagnostic radiology residents who complete the ESIR pathway.
Interventional Radiology Residency
We offer ACGME accredited programs for every training pathway in Vascular/Interventional Radiology, to include the Integrated IR/DR residency, Independent IR residency, and Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) opportunities, offering one position in each training program yearly to medical student or current diagnostic radiology resident applicants.
