Lactic Folly Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 IR seems quite busy. I do know those who see patients in clinic and admit them as MRP. Best to connect with those at your institution, or through CAIR: https://www.cairweb.ca/en/becoming-an-ir/introduction-to-ir/ Future_MD35 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroD Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 The lifestyle of IR has changed the turf war quite a bit. For example, since it has become clear that the life style of interventional neuro is terrible and getting worse every year, IR and neurosurgery have bee less interested in protecting it from neurologists.

Ive talked to a few radiologists in the past month. IR employment is good right now, though working hours are usually brutal. It has basically a surgical lifestyle but not the income. yonas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the up side, every center I have worked in that offered IR didn't have a floor to admit IR patients to. So there was no inpatients to worry about for the radiologist. Show up, do procedure, leave.

Yup! which is a bit annoying actually for many Canadians or IMGs who want to practice down there - they can no longer go to the US, do an IR fellowship and practice as an IR doc. The door on that has closed. Even if they do 4 years of fellowships in the US and write the ABR exam etc. Still cannot do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
