About BSIR Trainees
Aims of BSIR Trainees
Our aims are to provide information and advice to junior doctors who have an interest in Interventional Radiology as well as current IR trainees. The speciality is evolving rapidly and trainees need to be aware of these changes to extract the most from their training opportunities.
Through representation on all the subcommittees of the British Society of Interventional Radiology, the junior section of BSIR has the ability to highlight issues and instigate changes in the current training programs. It is vital to the future of Interventional Radiology, as a sub-specialty, that each of us plays a role in this process.
