The busy Vascular and Interventional Radiology (VIR) service at Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC) takes great pride in playing a key role in the multidisciplinary care of our patients. Being one of the few trauma centers in Long Island, we are closely involved in acute vascular management of trauma patients.
Having no fellowship program, our residents take on responsibility of running the service and work directly with our two skilled interventionists. The resident assumes a principal role in performing every case, assessing the daily consults, and providing appropriate peri-procedural management. This rotation cultivates a solid and practical manual skill-set, important for any radiologist.
We are proud to offer Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) pathway to interested residents. Our institution is accredited for one to two residents per year. After completing IR rotations in first year of residency, applicants apply for ESIR in their second year of residency.
