The NC Medical Student Symposium on Interventional Radiology, jointly sponsored by Duke University School of Medicine, UNC Chapel Hill School of Medicine, Wake Forest University Bowman Gray School of Medicine, ECU School of Medicine, and Charlotte Radiology was created to provide a high-yield source of information for medical students considering a career in interventional radiology. Whether you you are convinced IR is your future or have never heard of IR, this symposium will provide a wealth of information on IR:
- Expert interventional radiologists will provide an overview of the broad spectrum of pathologies commonly treated in IR as well as the cutting-edge image-guided techniques currently used in IR
- A panel of IR residency program directors and residents will provide invaluable information on the new combined IR residency pathways with Q & A sessions.
- Hand-on stations for students to try a wide variety of the most current percutaneous minimally invasive devices.
- A social networking event for students to mingle with interventional radiologists and IR residents.
Registration is FREE for medical students! To register, please click HERE.
The event will start with lunch at 11:30AM, and end at 6pm with the networking event at The Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club, 3001 Cameron Blvd, Durham, NC 27705.
