The fellowship program successfully prepares the trainee for a leading role as an academic or private practice interventional radiologist.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVE

The objectives are to provide trainees with a comprehensive, closely supervised educational experience in vascular/interventional radiology, emphasizing the performance of vascular and nonvascular diagnostic and interventional procedures and integration of the procedure into clinical patient care.
