I'm interested in neurointerventional and had a couple of questions. What's the better path for INR training, to do first IR then INR, or first diagnostic neuro then INR? I was just thinking that considering the technical and clinical skills you need for INR, a year of IR would be more helpful.
Also, I was wondering how fellowships will adapt to the new residency format where you can pretty much do whatever you want during the last year of residency. So let's say you spend that whole year doing INR or IR at your home program, will that decrease the duration of INR fellowship from 2 to 1 year?
I'd appreciate any comments from the more experienced residents/fellows/attendings.
