Pathways to IR [IR]

This episode is a breakdown of pathways to IR in the US, by popular demand.

Resources mentioned in the episode:

Society of Interventional Radiology Training Pathways: an excellent infographic

SIR learning center: under Patient Center you can find simple overviews of many IR procedures to get a feel for if this kind of work may interest you. The most common procedures are also helpfully laid out.

CIRSE: Trainee resources and the Medical students' perspectives on IR survey report I mentioned.

CIRSE/SIR/PAIRS Global IR Juniors Summit: more about IR in participating countries, including US, Canada, UK, and more.

RSNA 2022 Meeting , SIR 2023 Meeting

Caveat emptor in regards to my answer to the audience question on dual applying to both DR and IR programs. As a medical student, I have not yet participated in the Match, nor do I have residency admissions committee experience. I relay advice from one former resident and advise students, particularly internationals, to consider what field their experience best supports and focus on that. For more information on characteristics of successful candidates in the Match, check out this document from NRMP.
