RAD 407 - Interventional Radiology The Interventional Radiology (IR) elective offers the 4th year student a 4-week experience in caring for patients undergoing image-guided procedures. The student will work closely with attendings, residents, and other providers as an integral member of the IR team. Students will learn to perform basic IR procedures including PICC line placement and core needle biopsies, assist in advanced procedures including TIPS and chemo-/radioembolization, and participate in consults for the IR service. The student will attend Department of Radiology morning (7AM) and noon didactic conferences. The student will also attend Diagnostic Radiology medical student lectures given by residents, unless he/she has already completed RAD 400 satisfactorily; if so, the lecture time will be replaced with reading/study time. Required reading includes selected chapters of The Requisites: Vascular and Interventional Radiology. Recommended supplemental reading for students who have not completed RAD 400 is Learning Radiology: Recognizing the Basics. Both texts available through Brickell Library’s Online Resources. Students will also have access to IR Lecture Series slides covering high-yield IR topics. Written exam at end of rotation will be based on the required reading. The student will also present a case during noon conference highlighting pathophysiology and interventional techniques during the last week of the elective.
