SIR is thrilled to invite you to our exclusive course, "Introduction to Research Online Program (ITROP) 2023". This 8-week educational program is an excellent opportunity to learn the foundations of quality medical research from expert faculty within the specialty. ITROP 2023 is a joint collaboration between the RFS, SIR and SIR Foundation.
ITROP provides a unique ‘crash course’ in the fundamentals of research that is designed and taught by renowned academic interventionalists, for future interventionalists.
