So You Want to Be an INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGIST [Ep. 47]

So You Want to Be an Interventional Radiologist, leaving the image reading in the dust in replace of hands-on operations. Well, not quite. This is the reality of interventional radiology.🩻
Welcome to our next installment in So You Want to Be. In this series, we highlight a specific specialty within medicine to help you decide if it’s a good fit for you. If you want to vote in upcoming polls to decide what future specialties we cover, make sure to subscribe.
Interventional radiology involves using medical imaging technology to treat and sometimes diagnose conditions. The primary difference between DR and IR is that Diagnostic radiology primarily deals with diagnosing disease, whereas interventional radiology primarily deals with treating disease.
Special thanks to Dr. Thomas Reith ( / thomaspreith ) for helping us create this video.

Worked with a Interventional Radiology group at a top notch hospital. Gained my respect 💯. Often had to switch and reschedule the IR'S depending on the Operating Schedule. Patient's don't understand what goes on behind the scenes in getting their specialized IR into their surgical case.

If you could do a video on critical care medicine or intensivist. There are so many entry paths. I wonder if they are also compensated based on their entry path. Eg. Internist who becomes an intensivist vs anesthesiologist who becomes an intensivist.

If I may ask, is it possible for you to do any kind of video about EMTs and paramedics even though we are the lowest form of healthcare?

We are not the lowest form of healthcare my love ❤️

[@Enjoying_life_with_photos]

@@candaceforeman640 thank you for reminding me of that. Sometimes as an EMT it feels like I can’t do much for society.

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

Becoming an EMT is a very necessary and worthy profession! We have a video on how to gain EMT experience (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4WmYYihlK5qiK8), but we'll add So You Want to Be an EMT to our list of requests as well.

Hey doc, I had a question to ask. I m in my first year of bachelors of physiotherapy in india. I want to go to Harvard medical school. What would med schools favor more- 1. Undergrad from a US state uni(after taking transfer from india)? 2. Undergrad from india, but a masters(MMSc immunology for eg) from an Ivy like Harvard( provided I get in). If I choose transfer, I ll be limited to state unis cz of my course and fees. For masters, however, I can apply to ivies as well. *(In either case, I ll supplement my education with a post-bacc pre-med program as well)
