Program Overview
UF Interventional Radiology Independent Residency offers sub-specialty training in interventional radiology designed to equip physicians with the training needed to excel in careers in academic or private practice. Our program offers high degrees of progressive autonomy with an emphasis on patient safety and high-quality care. This is achieved through high-volume, focused training in a well-rounded scope of modern interventional radiology. Fellows will be first operator on the vast majority of cases throughout training. Example procedures fellows will master include: the performance of Y90 mapping and administration procedures, complex trauma embolization procedures, tumor ablation procedures, and TIPS placements.
