Weekly Lectures
We hold weekly didactic lectures for our residents on a wide variety of topics in IR. Faculty from other departments, such as the Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine and the Department of Surgery, also give guest lectures.
Weekly Conferences
Our residents attend at least one conference every week, including tumor boards, morbidity/mortality conference, vascular anomalies conference and cerebrovascular conference.
Quarterly Journal Club
We discuss current research being published in IR, and ensure our residents can critically analyze study methodology.
