Overview
The third annual Northeast Regional IR Symposium will be taking place at Albany Medical College in 2018. This symposium is an opportunity for medical students to learn about the exciting specialty of Interventional Radiology from a diverse group of experts in the field. For the last two years, the program was hosted by Brown University where it developed into one of the leading medical student symposiums in IR in the country. We are proud to be hosting this year's program.
Program
The program for this meeting will consist of short didactic presentations about the disease entities treated by IR and the catheter-based solutions for these problems. These presentations will be given by faculty members from several of the institutions listed below. In addition, product demonstrations and simulators will be available throughout the day. Finally, the meeting will close with advice for medical students considering this specialty for their future career.
