Unlike most other medical specialties, interventional radiology (IR) is often not discovered by medical students until clinical years. This session seeks to leverage insights from a survey of first-year students to evaluate current understanding of IR and barriers to IR recruitment, engage pre-IR trainees via social media & mentorship, explore strategies to involve students in IR at an earlier stage, and tailor mentorship to foster engagement.
Many students first learn about interventional radiology (IR) late in medical training. To ensure recruitment of the best and brightest, IR needs earlier visibility.
This session seeks to better understand and engage pre-IR trainees via social media & mentorship, explore strategies to involve students in IR at an earlier stage, leverage insights from surveys of first-year students to propose solutions for barriers to IR recruitment, tailor mentorship across medical journeys to foster engagement, showcase mentorship strategies, and enhance awareness of social media strategies to captivate trainees who wish to pursue IR.
