Special Features
Loma Linda University offers a balanced, clinically-focused interventional radiology training experience with exposure to the full breadth of interventional radiology procedures and patients. We have maintained a strong foothold in the treatment of vascular disease and the attached LLU Children's Hospital ensures daily training in the care of pediatric patients through interventional radiology. LLU IR focuses on the care of the entire person, not just their needs in the interventional suite. Early and frequent IR rotations in the block schedule, weekly outpatient clinic involvement and graduated IR call structure create a truly integrated, longitudinally engaging program designed to create future leaders in the specialty.
