The Resident Governing Council of the RFS (Resident, Fellow and Student Section) is the voice for trainees interested in Interventional Radiology (IR) and will advocate for them at the national and international level. The group will promote a clinical model of IR practice at the medical student, resident and fellow level by stressing the necessity of becoming disease experts, and above all else, by focusing on patient-centered care. The group will work to influence the training model to reflect these goals, at least in part by advocating for the development of resident and fellow-driven clinics and supporting the development of IR residency programs. This group works within SIR's Member Services Division.
Except for the vice chair and the annual meeting vice chair, these are leadership opportunities that are a one-year commitment starting on 4/1/2024 and ending on 3/31/2025.
The vice chair positions will serve one year as the vice chair and the second year as the chair of their respective committees. Positions start 4/1/2024 and end on 3/31/2026.
