Thank you for your interest in residency training in the Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Applications to our training program are made through ERAS (Electronic Residency Application System). The deadline for receiving your completed application through ERAS is October 15, 2012. We require completion of one year of ACGME-accredited clinical training prior to beginning radiology residency training. You should apply for these internships (that are typically done in internal medicine, surgery or as a transitional year) independently through ERAS.
Candidates for residencies are considered during their fourth year of medical school and (rarely) during or after their internship. Our positions are filled through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).

The Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania does not discriminate based on age, race, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation. There is no cutoff based on a candidate's age, USMLE scores, or date of graduation from medical school. We have current residents who have trained both in the United States and internationally. We support residents with either an H1-B or J1 visa.
All applicants must meet the requirements to obtain a Pennsylvania Medical Training License to enter our ACGME accredited program.
Radiology is one of the most competitive specialties for residency training. Penn is one of the academic medical centers that offer comprehensive radiology training in an engaging and nurturing environment. We typically receive over 700 applications for 12 residency positions. Seven positions are in our clinical residency track (1628420A0), three positions are designated for the research residency pathway (1628420A1) and two positions are allocated to the direct interventional radiology pathway (1628420C0). The latter program is designed for individuals who know they want to train to become imaged guided interventional radiologists.
Details about these programs are provided on our Web site. You may apply to one, two or all of the tracks depending on your career goals.
Invitations to interview at Penn Radiology shall be sent in November 2012. Penn Radiology will interview on select Mondays and Wednesdays in late 2012, early 2013.
