About Us
Message from the Director
Dear Applicants:
Thank you for your interest in the Cleveland Clinic Diagnostic Radiology Residency program! Our large subspecialized radiology department performs and interprets almost 3 million exams each year. We have well over 100 staff radiologists, trained in all subspecialties, who teach and mentor our 33 current residents. Many of our staff radiologists are active in research at the national and international level. They are productive with numerous contributions to the literature, and they welcome residents to participate in their research.
Cleveland Clinic is one of the top hospitals in the United States and is nationally ranked in many medical specialties. As a referral center, we see patients with a variety of complex medical problems from around the country and around the world. In addition, we serve as the primary care center for thousands of people in our neighboring counties of Northeast Ohio. Our patient population allows our trainees to experience a mix of both complex and bread-and-butter pathology.
Our residents receive a comprehensive radiology education that allows them to effectively navigate the competitive and demanding world of diagnostic radiology. They are trained in each of the subspecialty areas, including chest, abdominal imaging, neuroradiology and interventional radiology. In the final year of residency, our trainees have the opportunity to customize their training by selecting subspecialty areas-of-concentration to spend in 6 four-week blocks. This could be used for additional experience in their fellowship subspecialty, additional preparation for private practice or even preparation for the American Board of Radiology (ABR) Certifying Exam. Alternatively, we offer the opportunity to participate in the Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology program or the ABR Pathway to Dual Certification in Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Radiology. Our residents have completed fellowships all over the country in all of the subspecialties of radiology. They are successfully employed in both academia and private practice.
Guiding our residents through the training process are myself and two associate program directors, as well as our program manager and program administrator, who handle the day-to-day operations of the residency. The program director works closely with the Cleveland Clinic Graduate Medical Education Department and the Cleveland Clinic Imaging Institute Education Committee which is comprised of education liaisons from each of the subspecialty areas and upper level radiology administration. This solid relationship shows the strong support for trainee education throughout the entire Cleveland Clinic system.
When selecting our residents, we examine applications holistically. While a record of strong academic performance benefits any applicant looking for professional success, we also look for potential residents who have significant interests and skills outside of Radiology and medicine. We take pride in our diverse and interesting group of highly competent residents. We will continue working hard to make our program the best possible training experience for them and for our future trainees!
Kind regards,
Joseph Veniero, MD, PhD

Message from the Chiefs
Dear Applicants,
We believe the Cleveland Clinic Diagnostic Radiology Residency offers the best training possible regardless of your professional aspirations. Working at one of the top-ranked hospitals in the country provides exposure to a large volume of both common and complex pathology. This is balanced by the program’s strong emphasis on resident education, which comes in the form of outstanding didactics and exceptional “view-box” teaching. Every day we have the opportunity learn from our sub-specialty trained radiology staff, many of whom are nationally recognized experts in their respective fields.
Our program has many unique features that can complement a resident's career interests. These include integrated ESIR and DR/NM tracts that allow for early sub-specialization in interventional radiology and nuclear medicine, respectively, during the course of residency training. We also offer dedicated education, informatics, and research tracts, each of which provides an individual with dedicated time, financial support, and mentorship to develop specialized skills in those respective areas. Furthermore, there are numerous opportunities to get involved in education, including giving lectures to medical students and physician assistant students as well as to our resident colleagues in general surgery and internal medicine.
Whether you want to end up in private practice or academics, our radiology residency has the resources and mentorship available to help you reach your goals. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly at [email protected]
We look forward to your application,
Chiefs

Resident Life & Benefits
Resident Life
Cleveland often takes visitors by surprise because it has all the amenities of a big city while maintaining the charm and benefits of a smaller city. Whether you are indulging in the food or craft beer scenes, checking out the art museum, hiking in one of the Metroparks, catching a Cleveland Indians game, or enjoying a show in the theater district, it really has something to offer everyone.
The variety Cleveland offers is invaluable because camaraderie and work-life balance are very important to us here at Cleveland Clinic Radiology. We hold regular events outside of work including post-work happy hours, barbeques, holiday parties, game nights, weekend golf outings, etc. We can also be pretty competitive, particularly when it comes to our RadTeam activities, the fantasy football league, and the annual senior roast. Furthermore, we have an amazing House Staff Association which hosts phenomenal monthly events. These can range from discounted concert or Cleveland Browns tickets to rooftop happy hours or costume parties and gives the opportunity to meet or catch up with residents from other departments.
This really is only the tip of the iceberg, no pun intended. If you would like to get in touch with any of us with questions about the program or the city, feel free to email our Program Manager, Danielle Berry at [email protected].

Cleveland Clinic offers imaging fellowships in nearly all subspecialties.
Women In Radiology
"Women are underrepresented in radiology at all levels, from residency applicants to faculty and beyond. Since formalized mentorship has proven key to recruiting women in other specialties such as surgery, a Women in Radiology group was established at Cleveland Clinic in 2021. This department-sponsored group’s mission is three-fold:
- Enabling mentorship and networking resources in our department
- Discussing career development topics such as leadership and work/life balance
- Reaching out to medical students to show them relatable role models in the field of radiology
Events, including social gatherings, guest speakers, and medical student outreach, will be held throughout the year. We hope this group contributes to the improved representation of women in radiology at Cleveland Clinic and beyond!"
