The Department of Radiology at UC Irvine recognizes that there is a lack of diversity and equity in the field of radiology in regard to both researchers and clinicians. A more diverse radiology team can address the concerns of and expand healthcare access for diverse communities, especially those that are traditionally underserved. Our department is looking to foster a diverse and inclusive environment by increasing trainee diversity through improved recruitment processes. We seek to engage with students of diverse backgrounds to promote an interest in radiology. Eligibility The application for the Summer 2025 Outreach Internship is now closed. Information about the 2026 Outreach Internship will be posted on this page later this year. Eligibility requirements include: Must be a full-time MS1 or MS2 at an accredited North American medical school (MD or DO) or a full-time undergraduate student at an accredited North American college.

They will watch procedures and participate in clinics with interventional radiology faculty. Students interested in research may participate in pre-clinical translational research projects. Award Amount Interns will receive $2,500 to cover costs during their six-week internship with our department. All activities will take place in person, either at the UCI Medical Center or the UC Irvine School of Medicine campus.
