Laser induced thermal training requirements
Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2014 7:12 am
I was researching LITT-laser induced thermal therapy and found this interesting to know of the educational back ground of a IR doctor
One of the many doctors of oncology that we will be dealing with on our journies with ASPS
Wiklipedia section on interventional radiologist-
I found it interesting and wanted to share.

Training
As in most medical specialties, training varies depending on varying rules and regulations from country to country. In the United States, interventional radiologists are physicians whose education and training traditionally includes completing a college degree, four years of medical school, a year of training in general medicine and/or surgery (internship), a four-year diagnostic radiology residency program, and then a one or two year fellowship in vascular & interventional radiology.
With the evolving need to train more clinically oriented interventionists, two alternative pathways to achieve certification in IR have been established through the leadership of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR): The DIRECT and Clinical pathways.[3] For both pathways, the SIR states that the trainee must become proficient in management of inpatient and outpatient pre-procedure, post-procedure, and follow-up clinical care for all disease processes pertinent to the practice of VIR.
