Integrated interventional radiology residencies recently underwent their second year in the match, the first year of which involved only a limited number of programs. Now that students can choose to enter IR directly, student perceptions of IR vs DR are of paramount importance. We surveyed 1^st-4^th year medical students and radiology residents regarding interest in IR versus DR. Students considering a radiological career expressed more interest in IR than DR. Conversely, residents expressed more interest in DR. Medical student advisors and IR programs should continue to anticipate a high number of applications for integrated IR positions.
