Dear Applicants,

We are excited to inform you that Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell at Mather Hospital Interventional Radiology-Integrated Residency has secured an extremely competitive Transitional Year position for our Interventional Radiology Residency! This means that our applicants have the option to complete a Transitional Year in addition to the Interventional Radiology-Integrated Residency at Mather Hospital in a Linked Track.

The Transitional Year at Mather Hospital is guaranteed for those who match into the Mather Hospital Interventional Radiology-Integrated Residency position as long as you properly link it with the Transitional Year-TY/IR-Mather track in NRMP only. There is nothing to do or add in ERAS.

Please note that this Linked Transitional Year is a SPECIAL position that is only available for Interventional Radiology Residents and has a specific NRMP number: 2187999P2. Make sure to apply to this NRMP number and NOT the regular (non-linked) Transitional Year NRMP or the NRMP associated with the Diagnostic Radiology track (Transitional YearTY/Rad-Mather) as these NRMP numbers are NOT linked with the Interventional Radiology track and will NOT guarantee you a position.

You do NOT need to apply or interview with the Transitional Year Program as your interview with the Interventional Radiology program fulfills that requirement.
Alternatively, you do retain the option to choose another preliminary year in a different program if you so choose since the Northwell Mather Hospital Interventional Radiology-Integrated Residency NRMP code has not changed and will remain the same. (see below)

Please see below for the program details in the NRMP system to assist you with your rank list and make sure to associate the correct Transitional year NRMP number: 2187999P2. The Transitional Year at Mather is sponsored by Northwell Health. If you have any question or concerns, please feel free to contact the Training Program Administrator, Kimberly Wilson at kwilson17@northwell.edu
