IR DR Application Process

The University of Chicago Department of Radiology accepts two residents per year into the IR/DR residency program. All positions are filled through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) utilizing the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). For information, please visit their websites at aamc.org/eras and www.nrmp.org.

Required Application Materials:

  • Completed ERAS application
  • MSPE (formerly Dean’s Letter)

All applicants must complete their pre-requisite training in an ACGME-accredited internship or residency program before entering or transferring into an ACGME-accredited residency or fellowship program. This requirement also applies to residents entering into a PGY2-level specialty. 

Application and Interview Process: 

We will begin accepting applications in September 2024 for advanced positions starting in July 2026. Interviews will be held on the following dates:

We review all applications on a rolling basis and will invite candidates to interview as we proceed with the review process.
