The Society of Interventional Radiology presents a ‘masterclass’ in various business-related fields for Interventional Radiologists. This one-day entrepreneurial symposium is designed to assist Interventional Radiologists (IR) and their practice administrators at any stage in their career who want to enhance their approach to the business of IR. Whether you support private practices or operate an OBL, the SIR Business Institute offers a unique approach to business development.

A 2023 attendee survey showed the following results:

100% of attendees found the SIR Business Institute courses educational.
88% plan to make changes in their professional practice from the new strategies acquired by participating in this course.
95% of attendees were either satisfied or very satisfied.

The U.S. office-based labs market size was valued at USD 9.6 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.46% from 2022 to 2030. The growing trend of surgical procedures being performed in outpatient settings and the rising incidence of various vascular diseases are among the major factors driving the demand for office-based Labs (OBL) in the U.S. In addition, high patient satisfaction with a focused and dedicated team of doctors is expected to boost the market growth. The prevalence of vascular diseases in the U.S. is increasing. As per an AHA article published in June 2021, the prevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) was 7%, affecting approximately 8.5 million adults in the U.S.
