1. What's the difference between diagnostic neuroradiologists and neurointerventionalists? Some fellowship sites say "We have 3 diagnostic nr's and 1 neurointervent. on staff....?"
2. Is doing JUST a neuroradiology fellowship after regular DR good enough? Or do you have to do vascular/interventional AND neuroradiology? I keep reading mixed info on this. Some 1 yr neuro fellowships say they also teach interventional procedures, so this question piggy-backs #1.
3. Do you think the # of neurointerventionalists will increase at all over the next 5-10 yrs? (which is good, b/c you can share more call but still do enough procedures and make bank).
4. Is there anybody here who contemplated neurosurgery before realizing they'd actually like to take a vacation now and then, and became (or is becoming) a neurointerventionalist instead?
Thanks everybody, you guys are really helping me out. And if anybody cares to send me a private message, feel free.
P.S. I think I can get a DR spot somewhere, so posts about "just get a DR spot first then worry about it" will not help anyone reading this post.
