URochester Medicine IR Residents

The tower of retired Viatorrs has grown! Resident education is not cheap! @SIRRFS

Had a blast learning, teaching and connecting with friends at #SIR2026 in Toronto! From the lecture hall to the med students, this is how we stay fresh in IR! @SIRRFS @SIR_ECS @SIRspecialists

@ChengaziMD @SIRRFS Happy residents + excellent training = outstanding IRs!

@urmc_ir @SIRRFS A rare creative win-win. Great outside the box thinking!

Proud of our own Dr. Kristy Patel at #SIR2026 showing how structured week-long call with protected free mornings improved resident wellness, boosted confidence, and increased case volume. You can build a better residency without sacrificing training! @SIRRFS

When @CIRSEsociety uses your resident’s photo on their website, you’re doing something right. @SIRRFS #irad cirse.org/society/traine…

Congratulations to our new IR residents! Welcome to @UofR! We couldn't be more excited to have you. #MatchDay2026 #IRmatch @SIRRFS

Dusted off a classic for journal club: the OG MELD paper! Turns out MELD wasn’t born in a transplant clinic. It was built to predict 3-month survival after TIPS. Did you know? @SIRRFS @CVIR_Journal @SIRspecialists #IRad #JournalClub #TIPS journals.lww.com/hep/abstract/2…

Interview season is a wrap and the rank list is in! Good luck to everyone heading into the Match. The future of IR is in good hands. @SIRRFS @SIRspecialists #Match2026 #Match2026

Great turnout at the Western NY Angio Club just before the holidays! Interesting cases, a lot of learning and practical IR discussions. Thanks to everyone who made it a strong session and happy holidays from the URMC IR program! @SIRRFS #MedTwitter #IRad

@ChengaziMD @SIRRFS He learned that lesson a long time ago!

@urmc_ir @SIRRFS Dana at it again pulling the plastic sheath off?

Three TIPS stents that volunteered for early retirement. No patients harmed and good lessons learned! @SIRRFS #IRad #TIPS

Med students: don’t miss the Western NY Winter Angio Club on 12/22/25! Residents and faculty from the University of Rochester and Rochester Regional Health will be there, with hands-on experience and time to connect with the IR community! @SIRRFS #Match2026 #FutureIR #IRad

Congrats to Dr. Sharma on his new CVIR Letter to the Editor outlining a salvage kissing-TIPS technique for a tough TIPS occlusion! Strong technical work and a clear example of IR problem-solving under pressure! link.springer.com/article/10.100… @SIRRFS #CVIR #IRad

⁦@SIRRFS⁩ Kicked off our IO Journal Club series with the PREMIERE trial: strong discussion, stronger hot pot! Next on the menu: LEGACY and DOSISPHERE #Y90 #TARE #JournalClub #IRResidents #IRTraining #MedTwitter

First #IRResidency interview day in the books! Met an incredible group of future interventional radiologists: motivated, thoughtful, and passionate about patient care. Excited for the rest of the season. @SIRRFS #Match2026 #InterventionalRadiology #MedTwitter #FutureIR

Proof that all our residents can be in one place at the same time! No procedures, no pagers, just barbecue and good weather. #InterventionalRadiology #IRResidency #MedTwitter

A little less lecture, a little more hands-on! Training with the Mentice simulator and DVT and PE thrombectomy devices.
