Advanced Vascular and Interventional Radiology

Catalog description

The 4 week 4th-year elective in Interventional Radiology is designed for students interested in pursuing interventional and/or diagnostic radiology and is an immersive experience with the Interventional Radiology team. Students will be involved in: (1) pre-procedural patient care: focused patient assessment (in a clinic setting, as well as in the inpatient consult setting), review of imaging, and informed consent process; (2) intra-procedural care: devices, terminology, and technique; and (3) post-procedural patient care: focused patient assessment (in the radiology recovery room, as well as in the inpatient setting), procedural documentation/reporting, and patient follow-up planning. Documentation skills will be taught. By the end of the rotation, the student should be capable of determining whether a procedure is needed routinely, urgently or emergently; will be able to select the most indicated procedure based on patient presentation (develop a management plan); and will be knowledgeable about pre- and post- procedure patient care. Pre-requisites: Permission of the instructor is required. Students that take the two-credit Vascular & Interventional Radiology (VIR) course are not eligible to take this four credit elective. Enrollment Max. 3 with course director discretion to add a 4th; Credit: 4.
