Duke Radiology Welcomes 14 Residents on Match Day

Match Day 2026

In today’s Match Day—the exciting moment when graduating medical students across the U.S. and beyond learn where they’ll be heading for specialized training—14 students matched with Duke Radiology’s Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program and Interventional Radiology Residency Program through the National Resident Matching Program.

Match Day is a pivotal time in a physician’s career, advancing students to the next phase of their professional journey and bringing them one step closer to realizing their goals in their specialized field of medicine.

This year’s class of Radiology residents have exceptionally strong records of clinical care, research, leadership, and advocacy. We look forward to welcoming our newest team members and seeing the unique ways each of them will contribute to our clinical, education, and research missions.

We’re grateful to the many department members who played a part in recruiting this excellent cohort of incoming trainees, under the leadership of our residency program directors, Jonathan Martin, M.D. (Diagnostic Radiology), and Brendan Cline, M.D. (Interventional Radiology).
