He completed his radiology residency at the University of Kansas School of Medicine and went on to complete a fellowship in Vascular and Interventional Radiology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Dr. Kirkpatrick specializes in complex IVC filter retrieval and has experience using forceps- and laser-assisted techniques to remove IVC filters with prolonged dwell times. He has a special interest in acute and chronic venous disease, arteriovenous malformations, embolization, biliary disease, and interventional endoscopy. He is a sub-investigator for several ongoing clinical trials for devices intended to treat chronic venous occlusions.

Dr. Kirkpatrick is heavily involved in trainee education. Shortly after joining the University of Michigan, he was appointed as the Director of Medical Student Education for Interventional Radiology and is the Director of the annual University of Michigan IR Medical Student Symposium.
