Hello, which IR programs are known for particularly strong interventional oncology (IO) training? Thanks!
Any major institutions, NW started Y90, all major cancer institutes in particular are good. It’s easy to get good IO experience almost any program with a few exceptions will have relatively high volume IO, Main reason for this is we own the space and the present time. PAD, neuro and peds IR, and somewhat trauma, exposure will very greatly depending on where you train.Hello, which IR programs are known for particularly strong interventional oncology (IO) training?

The variance will be in neurointerventional, peripheral vascular (PAD/aortic /renal/mesenteric), and pediatric clinical and procedural experience.
Neuro IR:To piggy-back, would you have a short-list that provides adequate neurointerventional & peripheral vascular training? I know a couple IRs that wish they had stroke training in residency so they didn't have to refer out almost ~200 miles to the closest center.
With the retirement of the SIR training directory, some of these numbers are hard to come by, and frankly, it can be a bit tricky to ask these on interviews because I may not want to appear disinterested in a program just because they don't provide training in one aspect.
