Application procedure
Residents may enter the program after completing one year of post-graduate training in an accredited transitional program or after one year in a program that requires at least five years of post-graduate training, for example, surgery. Individuals are required to apply for a separate, post-graduate year of clinical training starting July 1, 2008 as well as applying for the four-year diagnostic radiology program starting in June 2009.
The Department of Radiology participates in the National Residency Matching Program. Applications for residency are only accepted through the Electronic Residency Application Service. No additional information besides the standard ERAS application is required.
Following initial evaluation of the applications by our review committee, approximately 70 individuals are offered formal interviews. Interviews are by appointment only and are conducted in December and January.
The Interview Day at Northwestern
On the evening prior to your interview, you are invited to a dinner event, hosted by several of our residents at a local restaurant. Although it is entirely optional, attendance is generally excellent; the casual setting is an ideal opportunity to get the “inside scoop” on the program.

As part of the match process in 2007, the Department of Radiology received approximately 700 applications to fill the nine open resident positions beginning in June, 2008. All resident appointments are subject to annual review. Applications for subsequent years are considered if vacancies exist.
The application deadline for residents beginning in July 2009 is October 31, 2007.
