In 2026-2027, all interviews will be performed in-person. If you wish to apply to both our DR and IR-Integrated Residency programs, you must submit two separate applications, one to each program.

Applicants who are offered an interview will receive an invite via Thalamus.  You will receive a unique link that will allow you to access to the system (free for applicants) and various informational materials.  You will be able to self-schedule for the listed dates. The scheduler will close one week prior to the interview day. Any changes after the closing of an interview day will be via email to ner7jm@uvahealth.org.

During your interview, you will have the opportunity to meet with our Interventional Radiology faculty, including our Program Director, and learn more about our program, clinical training, and educational opportunities. You will also have the opportunity to hear directly from and connect with our IR residents, including a dedicated resident-led question-and-answer session during the interview day. This provides applicants with an opportunity to ask questions and gain valuable insight into the resident experience, training environment, and life within the UVA Interventional Radiology program.

Pre-Employment Drug Testing and Background Check

Resident/fellow appointment is conditional based on the approval of the Clinical Staff Credentials Committee (CSCC) and the Clinical Staff Executive Committee (CSEC) and based on successful completion of credentialing, including but not limited to our review and acceptance of information from the criminal background check, successful completion of the pre-employment drug screen, passing applicable medical licensing exams (USMLE, COMLEX or MCCQE), receipt of a Virginia Medical License (if applicable), honest and accurate completion of all required paperwork and training modules prior to Orientation.
