The Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Baylor College of Medicine (Temple) Program offers three pathways for physicians pursuing interventional radiology:
Our training environment has deep roots in Central Texas. The radiology department was founded in 1912, and the Diagnostic Radiology Residency began in 1945. IR fellowship training began in 2009 and evolved into our Independent IR Residency in 2020.
Today, our IR department performs over 13,000 cases per year, giving trainees broad exposure to vascular and nonvascular interventions, interventional oncology, and outpatient care.
| Pathway | Who it is for | How to apply |
|---|---|---|
| Integrated IR Residency | Medical students applying for an advanced IR position | Apply to the Integrated IR program through ERAS and arrange a qualifying clinical year separately |
| Independent IR Residency | Physicians completing a Diagnostic Radiology Residency, with or without ESIR | Apply to the Independent IR program through ERAS |
| Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) | Residents in our Diagnostic Radiology Residency who seek additional IR training during DR residency | Discuss internal selection and scheduling with the DR and IR program leadership |
We use the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) to electronically accept residency applications, letters of recommendations, dean’s letters, transcripts and other credentials directly from your medical school.

The collaborative nature of the multispecialty system at Baylor Scott & White Health fosters working relationships with specialists from other departments. The working environment is cordial and fun, and a full crew of nurses and technologists complement the capabilities of the staff.
IR residents rotate on a daily basis through a variety of services including vascular intervention, vascular imaging, nonvascular intervention and interventional radiology outpatient clinic.
The interventional radiology division is involved in a number of clinical trials, and IR residents are afforded the opportunity to participate in research at the local and national levels.
IR-independent residents home call one night per week and one weekend a month (total of seven nights per month) Moonlighting opportunities are available.
A generous meeting stipend is offered for one national meeting. IR residents also attend the annual Society of Interventional Radiology Spring Practicum. In addition, a unique educational experience is offered through consultation services provided to the division from visiting, guest professors distinguished in the field of interventional radiology.
The collaborative nature of the multispecialty system at Baylor Scott & White Health fosters strong working relationships with specialists across numerous departments. The working environment is collegial and supportive, with dedicated nurses, technologists, and faculty working together to provide exceptional patient care and resident education.
Residents rotate through a variety of services, including vascular intervention, vascular imaging, nonvascular intervention, and the Interventional Radiology outpatient clinic, gaining broad exposure to the full spectrum of interventional radiology.
The Interventional Radiology division is actively involved in clinical research and offers residents opportunities to participate in scholarly and research activities at both the local and national levels.
Residents participate in home call and have opportunities for moonlighting. They also receive a generous stipend to attend a national meeting and participate in the annual Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) Spring Practicum. Additional educational opportunities are provided through consultations and lectures from visiting guest professors and nationally recognized leaders in interventional radiology.
Our newly ACGME-accredited Integrated IR Residency combines diagnostic radiology education with progressive clinical and procedural training in interventional radiology. Residents train at a tertiary referral center and Level I trauma center, with experience in adult and pediatric IR, outpatient consultation, and a broad range of vascular and nonvascular interventions.
We offer one advanced Integrated IR position per year. All applicants must complete a separate qualifying clinical year before entering the Integrated IR Residency. Applicants are responsible for applying to and securing their qualifying clinical-year position independently. Upon successful completion of the clinical year, residents begin the five-year Integrated IR Residency at the PGY-2 level.
The Integrated residency is a new training pathway built on our longstanding DR and IR programs. Integrated, Independent, ESIR, and DR residents will learn within the same clinical and educational environment.
Our ACGME-accredited Independent IR Residency provides focused interventional radiology training after Diagnostic Radiology Residency. The pathway is open to applicants who have completed ESIR and those whose DR residency did not include ESIR.
Training generally lasts one year after an approved ESIR pathway or two years for applicants without ESIR. Independent residents participate in procedural services and outpatient care across the spectrum of interventional radiology.
The Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) pathway allows Diagnostic Radiology residents with a strong interest in IR to complete advanced interventional radiology training during residency. ESIR is an ACGME-approved curriculum offered within the Diagnostic Radiology Residency and is not a separate residency program or ERAS application.
Residents are typically selected during residency and complete 12 IR or IR-related rotations, including one four-week ICU rotation, and a minimum of 500 documented IR-related procedures by the completion of Diagnostic Radiology training. Most ESIR requirements are completed during the final years of residency, while residents continue to fulfill all Diagnostic Radiology training requirements.
Successful completion of the ESIR pathway may allow residents to enter a one-year Independent Interventional Radiology Residency following Diagnostic Radiology graduation. Participation in ESIR does not guarantee admission to the Independent IR Residency, and applicants must apply and be selected through the separate Independent IR application process.
