The Interventional and Vascular Radiology fellowship at the University of Chicago Hospitals is a one year ACGME-accredited program . The section has three accredited fellowship positions per year. The fellows must have successfully completed a diagnostic radiology residency prior to the start of the fellowship. Each fellow is expected to be able to perform all procedures by the end of the fellowship year. During the year, fellows are expected to be involved in resident teaching while residents rotate on service. In addition, the fellows also give didactic lectures and case conferences to residents throughout the year. Though the primary focus is clinical service, the fellows are encouraged to participate in ongoing Research and clinical trials. Presentation of Research at conferences is also strongly encouraged. The Chicago Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology holds monthly meeting and the fellows are encouraged to participate.

In addition to one on one teaching, the section faculty will also give didactic lectures and case based conference to the fellows. The fellows will be involved with vascular conference, morbidity and mortality conference, and participate in journal club. The Department of Radiology at the University of Chicago Hospitals is outstanding, with a national reputation. The chairman is Dr. Richard Baron. The section chief is Dr. Brian Funaki. We appreciate your interest in our program.
