Brown Vascular and Interventional Radiology Symposium for Medical Students

[Med2015VIR]

Dear Medical Students, Medical Schools, and Radiology Departments,

You are invited to attend The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University's Vascular and Interventional Radiology Symposium.

The inaugural Brown University Vascular and Interventional Radiology Symposium is hosted by The Vascular and Interventional Radiology Interest Group of Brown University with support from the Department of Diagnostic Imaging at Brown. The goal of the symposium is to introduce current medical students to the innovative, minimally invasive, and clinically oriented field of interventional radiology. We encourage you to forward this e-mail to medical students at your institution who have expressed an interest in radiology, interventional radiology, and/or minimally invasive therapy.

Interventional radiology revolutionizes medicine through the use of image-guided, minimally invasive therapeutics. From the use of angioplasty and catheter-delivered stents for peripheral artery disease to the treatment of tumors with thermal ablation, interventional radiology offers an evolving and advancing array of medical procedures.

The Vascular and Interventional Radiology Interest Group at Brown aims to promote learning and networking opportunities for medical students interested in a career in radiology or interventional radiology. The Division of Diagnostic Imaging at Brown is a leader in patient care, education, and research.



Date: Saturday, December 15, 2012
Time: 12pm-6pm (Symposium); 6pm-7pm (Dinner and networking event)
Location: The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI

This is going to be a really great session. I would advise anyone in the surrounding area to take advantage of this!

Agreed... I think this is a tremendous opportunity for medical students to learn about IR from a busy and leading IR practice.
