For all the prospective rads applicants, can we review those programs which are perceived as strong in IR? I think this would be enormously helpful in terms of deciding where to apply. I suggest the following template but feel free to amend as needed.
Program:
Strengths: (e.g. PAD, IO, amazing faculty etc...)
Weaknesses:
Level of resident vs. fellow participation and autonomy: (e.g. will a resident get to run a room by him/herself?)
Clinical prowess: e.g. is the program more clinically focused or technically focused?
Research prowess:
Independent service: yes/no
Independent clinic:
Support from the diagnostic radiology department/faculty:
Ancillary staff: (comment if these programs have nurses, vascular techs etc...)
