Interventional Radiology (Resident)

Dec 12, 2023

Are needles, wires, and tubes your tools of preference? Are you looking for a rapidly expanding, exciting, and cool specialty? Are you a problem solver?  Look no further! Have a listen as our guests enthusiastically share their passion for Interventional Radiology (IR). Actually – they share their passion for the broad scope of radiology (you’ll hear why this is so important).

Sebastien Robert, MD (PGY5) and Jorden (Fu) Lo, MD (PGY2), demystify the route to becoming an IR resident. They provide a comprehensive glimpse into the vast opportunities of this multifaceted discipline. All the technicalities and processes aside… they both agree that you need to be in love with imaging to be an excellent IR.

Host Andrew Pauls learns why being an enthusiastic, curious, and present resident goes a very long way. After all - you want to stand out as a resident. 

This discussion is packed with nuggets of wisdom. Here's one for your CaRMS intereviews:  Be yourself. Be authentic. Be a good human being!
