Radiology : RADI-8015 - Intro to Interventional Radiology Elective
| Course Description | During this 2-week long introductory elective, students will be exposed to all aspects of division of Interventional Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine. Time will be split between the IR consultation service, procedural rotations and IR clinic. Students will be incorporated into the clinical team, and exposed to minimally invasive treatments for disease states such as cancer, portal hypertension, deep venous thrombosis, biliary/genitourinary obstruction, peripheral vascular disease, trauma, and uterine fibroid embolization. Students will learn pre- and postprocedure management for these percutaneous therapies and will have the opportunity to scrub into cases such as transcatheter embolizations, thermal ablations and vascular stenting. Elective responsibilities include attending morning educational conferences and daily hand-off/rounds, participation in various procedures and shadowing MDs and NPs in IR clinic. At the conclusion of the elective, students will present a short case in our weekly Interesting Case Conference to our faculty and trainees. |
