Question 1

How are the best Interventional Radiology-Integrated residency programs ranked?

Accepted Answer

MatchPath ranks programs by the MatchPath Program Score — a transparent, objective composite of the teaching hospital's federal Overall Star Rating (quality), the program's size relative to other Interventional Radiology-Integrated programs (ACGME-approved positions), its teaching hospital's federal research funding (where available), and its accreditation standing. It is not a reputation survey; the exact weights are published and every program shows the signals behind its score.

Question 2

What is the best Interventional Radiology-Integrated residency program?

Accepted Answer

By the MatchPath Program Score, University of Pennsylvania Health System currently ranks first among Interventional Radiology-Integrated programs. The full ranked list above shows each program's score and the factors behind it, so you can see why.

Question 3

Is this an official residency ranking?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no official ACGME, NRMP, or government ranking of residency programs. The MatchPath Program Score is our own transparent composite of objective, public data (federal hospital quality, ACGME-approved positions and accreditation standing) — published so you can see exactly what drives each position. It reflects the teaching hospital's measured quality and the program's scale, not a subjective judgment of the training.

Question 4

Does a program's rank mean it's the right fit for me?

Accepted Answer

Not on its own. The score weighs objective signals every applicant can verify, but fit also depends on your specialty goals, location, IMG-friendliness, visa needs, and salary. Use the ranking as a starting shortlist, then compare programs side by side.

Question 5

How is this different from reputation-based residency rankings?

Accepted Answer

Reputation rankings are built from surveys of physicians' opinions. The MatchPath Program Score uses no opinions — only objective, public data (federal hospital quality, ACGME-approved positions and accreditation standing), with the weights published and every input shown. You can audit exactly why a Interventional Radiology-Integrated program sits where it does.

Question 6

Which of these Interventional Radiology-Integrated programs are IMG-friendly?

Accepted Answer

The score itself doesn't factor in IMG acceptance — filter the Interventional Radiology-Integrated program list by "IMG-friendly" to rank by reported IMG acceptance rate, then check each program's IMG percentage, visa sponsorship, and Step 2 CK expectation. All of it is free to view.
