We are so proud that our very own Caroline Carswell got to attend AAR as a recipient of the APCR scholarship. What a valuable opportunity to connect with leaders in education and management!

For sacral insufficiency fractures with 1 year, 3 year, and five 5 mortality rate rates of 11.5%, 23%, and 26.9% CMS and their WISeR initiative are now denying patients access to this procedure that has dramatic pain reductions, and functional improvements. #dangerouspolicy

@austin_gawa @AlanMatsumotoMD @saherssabri @DavidMauroMD @miltylion @VIRTarHeels @DukeIR @SIRRFS @SIRspecialists @SIR_ECS All things even out over time. Lots of debate. Question if it’s Covid related as those trainees likely didn’t get a realistic experience of IR.

@NikkiKeefe @AlanMatsumotoMD @saherssabri @DavidMauroMD @miltylion @VIRTarHeels @DukeIR @SIRRFS @SIRspecialists @SIR_ECS Any discussion about the alarmingly high attrition rate in integrated programs and possible root causes?

#SEAS debate re IR residency, IR only certification vs IR/DR and the future of our specialty. Having M Mauro, A Matsumoto, S Sabri, PDs, trainees and private practice minds all in the same room discussing. Profound discussion.

Join me at the @SIRspecialists Angio Club as we see some awesome cases from our Southeastern Angio Society faculty and trainees. @SIRRFS @DukeIR @VIRTarHeels @EmoryIRad @UVA_IR @wakeforestir

Refractory and resistant abdominal pain? Time to block it out. 💉💥 Dive into the #CeliacPlexusBlock: a minimally invasive, precision-based pain management approach. #InterventionalRadiology #SIR #SIRRFS

@drcostantino1 @Medtronic I went last year and loved it! So cool to hear many varied opinions and see how they make devices

Thank you @Medtronic for an incredible visit to Galway, Ireland. Very VERY inspiring to meet the scientists/engineers/marketers/guys&gals hand making the product. Pipeline products are so fun to think about. Physician Immersion Program…if you ever get the chance- go!

@VIRTarHeels pool party! Welcoming in our newest class of residents. @UNCRadRes @UNCRadiology

@smbracewell @SIRRFS Of course!

An estimated 30 million Americans — or more than 11 percent of the adult population — suffer from knee osteoarthritis, the degenerative disease that prompts most knee replacements. For those who don’t want to undergo the surgery, other options exist. wapo.st/4kdVLxe

@ziegler_md @farkomd I don't see any eye protection let alone loops

@farkomd I wear my loupes in these so I don't have to wear those plastic eyeshields required by hospital policy

Thankfully the patient is in good hands! Secondly, happy to see no one wearing loops to fix a AAA. Just not needed. #AortaEd

***not my study, I just had the privilege of moderating this session

Attending IRs at 9.8%, integrated res at 22% women, huge improvement over the years! Keep up the amazing work @womenirads through mentorship and representation.

Great #SIR25NASH conference. @VIRTarHeels representing

Great evaluation on a much needed topic. Burnout among trainees is hard. How can we improve it to improve resident retention and med student recruitment? #SIR25NASH @SIRRFS
