Radiology at UT Health San Antonio

UT Health San Antonio offers both diagnostic and interventional radiology residency programs, as well as a combined radiology residency/PhD program, the only one of its kind in the United States.

UT Health San Antonio and its affiliated hospitals were built in 1969 on nearly 700 acres of land on the north side of San Antonio, and with its relatively new development, the location is excellent for medical training as well as providing a reasonable cost-of-living, good neighborhoods, schools, recreation, shopping, and dining.

Many facilities associated with the school provide exceptional training to radiology residents at UT Health San Antonio. University Hospital (UH) has a Level 1 trauma center and is the third-largest public hospital system in Texas. The Medical Arts and Research Center (MARC) houses clinics for multiple primary care and sub-specialty clinics as well as surgery, radiology, and pathology services. The Mays Cancer Center is an outpatient clinic as well as an National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center with multidisciplinary, innovative, cutting-edge, and field-leading research. The Robert B. Green Family Health Center, founded in 1918, has adult and pediatric same-day clinics and specialty clinics, along with full prenatal services for normal and complicated pregnancies. Imaging services are also present at UT Hill Country.

All residency applications must be submitted to ERAS (the Electronic Residency Application Service) and all positions are filled via the National Residency Matching Program, or "the Match." As detailed in the About Radiology tab above, an internship year is required before beginning any radiology residency track.

Diagnostic Residency Program Overview

The DR residency program accepts 8-9 residents per year, with opportunities to train at the aforementioned facilities associated with the South Texas Medical Center, including University Hospital (UH), the Medical Arts Research Center (MARC), the Mays Cancer Center, the Robert B. Green Clinic, and UT Hill Country. These practice sites provide a robust clinical experience with annual volume approaching 450,000 studies and exposure to high-level tertiary care such as level 1 trauma facilities, multiple organ transplantation programs, and 24/7 sub-specialty coverage. Please consult the following page for the residency curriculum.

Residents training at UT Health San Antonio under the guidance of DR residency program director Dr. Ángel Gómez-Cintrón and associate program directors Drs. Kent Rohweder and Achint Singh go on match in successful fellowships in neuroradiology, body imaging, vascular and interventional radiology (VIR), and mammography, among many paths, with a full fellowship match list here. Please consult the following pages for current residents and compensation at UT Health San Antonio.

Interventional Radiology Program Overview

As detailed in the About Radiology tab above, there are two main pathways for IR training: integrated and independent IR residencies, both of which are offered at UT Health San Antonio.

Students training at UT Health San Antonio under the guidance of program director Dr. Ghazwan Kroma, MD and associate program director Dr. Bundhit Tantiwongkosi go on match in successful fellowships. Please consult the following page for current compensation at UT Health San Antonio.

The IR section at UT Health San Antonio provides across-the-board access to vascular and non-vascular procedures. We currently offer 2 positions for the Integrated IR route. Clinical care is at the heart of our IR practice. We run an active outpatient clinic, inpatient consultative care, admit patients, manage patient care, and maintain a robust clinical practice. The first year of IR training will be more clinically oriented with rotations in the outpatient IR clinic, inpatient care, consultative care, and critically ill patients in the ICU. The second year will concentrate more on technical aspects of procedures with continuous attention to patient care and follow-up.

Radiology Residency/PhD Program Overview

As mentioned above, UT Health San Antonio offers a unique combined radiology residency/PhD program. Residents in radiology, psychiatry, or radiation oncology can also obtain a degree from the graduate program in radiological sciences. This program combines graduate school research education with clinical residency training to create a new category of leaders in medicine, with the intent to foster new research and knowledge to invent more life-saving imaging techniques, a caliber of clinical research efforts previously resulting in CT, PET, and MRI, as well as other computed imaging procedures.

The radiological sciences degree has three sub-specializations:

1. PhD or MS in Medical Physics
2. MS in Medical Health Physics
3. PhD in Radiation Biology that includes the Human Imaging track

Current students in the combined program can be found here.
