Innovation and Industry meets IR Education!  Research shows that while many radiology trainees want exposure to the medical device industry, geographical and logistical barriers often stand in the way. We are changing that.

This is your chance to gain a fully funded executive education on how industry shapes the devices we use everyday and empower you to become a future leader in the field whilst minimising time commitments to ensure your clinical training is not affected.  📍 Eligibility: Open to radiology trainees at all levels or post-CCT fellows.  👇 Apply here: bsir.org/society/career… #InterventionalRadiology #BSIR #MedTech #CareerDevelopment #NHS #Radiology #Innovation
