The LSUHSC-New Orleans Interventional Radiology Residency is an ACGME accredited university-based program. Residents rotate primarily at University Medical Center-New Orleans, a new state of the art facility and Level 1 Trauma Center supporting 350+beds, 56 ER exam rooms and 19 ORs. Outpatient services are offered through an ambulatory care clinic. A growing Oncology Center and Interventional Oncology program has increased complex case volume over the last 2 years. 

Residents also rotate at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Hospital System (across the street from UMCNO) and at Children’s Hospital in uptown New Orleans.  LSUHSC-New Orleans is located across the street from UMCNO, providing access to a large research center fully staffed and equipped for projects ranging from small volunteer studies to federally funded National Institutes of Health grant projects.

Residents benefit from an amazing case mix in both diagnostic and interventional rotations and have high pass rates on the ABR core and qualifying exams. The size of this residency and hospital volumes afford trainees participation in cases progressing from secondary to primary operators.  An inpatient service with exposure to advanced cases and an outpatient clinic provide complete patient treatment and interaction with other specialists.  A multidisciplinary hepatobiliary/pancreatic/gastrointestinal conference is run by the Interventional Radiology division and residents participate actively in UMCNO Tumor Board.
