Since establishing the Radiology Residency Program in 1969, INTEGRIS Health Baptist Medical Center has consistently produced residents that have gone on to prestigious careers.
Welcome to the INTEGRIS Health Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program. Since 1969, we’ve trained radiologists who go on to top careers.
With just 4 residents per year and no fellows, you get hands-on IR access and one-on-one readouts with staff. Most residents match into top fellowships and all graduate ready for private practice or academics.
Our ACGME-designated Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) track lets qualifying residents start in an advanced (2nd year) position in an independent IR program.

What makes the diagnostic radiology residency program unique?
Our diagnostic radiology residency program offers the following curriculum
How we are committed to education
Residents are treated well, with an emphasis on learning, not grinding out the maximum number of studies.
There is extensive MRI experience for residents, in which the resident gets one-on-one teaching with fellowship-trained staff in Breast, MSK, Neuro and Body imaging. Five to six months are allotted per resident, with the fist month occurring before call begins.
Well-established transplant service at INTEGRIS Health Baptist Medical Center provides experience with liver and kidney transplant imaging. Transplant conferences occur once a month.
Our PACS system has been in place since 2003. It is completely integrated with voice recognition software.

"I think the biggest strength of the program is early experience reading on our own WITHOUT an in-house attending. Secondarily, the availability of moonlighting for that same reason. Every job interview I had, they asked me about if I had experience reading on my own because people coming out of high profile academic institutions are often slow when starting private practice because they haven't read on their own. Everyone was glad to hear I had extensive experience functioning on my own." - Jacob Azurdia, M.D., Class of 2020
Plain film experience is obtained on the reading room rotations, which also include all imaging done on the floor, ER and post-operative studies.
We have 17 residents, with one on call per night, which averages to around q17d for the residency. Most call is taken during 2nd and 3rd years of residency making the average closer to q9d for the time you actually are taking call.
The ER rotation functions as night float so that on call you stay until 8pm on the weekdays/weekends.
The consensus among staff and residents is the same regarding moonlighting in moderation: it is a logical step in education, giving more senior residents additional radiology training experience and confidence.
"Going into my IR fellowship, I was very well prepared. My fellowship director even told me that I had the best technical skill of any fellow he had ever had! Of course, I owe all that to the training I received at INTEGRIS Health." - Brett Hyatt, D.O., Class of 2019
