About SIR
Envisioning healing together
We are the voice for interventional radiologists (IRs) and advocate for them at the national and international level.
Who we are
The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) is a nonprofit professional medical society representing over 8,000 practicing interventional radiology physicians, trainees, medical students, scientists and clinical associates. SIR’s members range from medical students and residents to university faculty and private practice physicians.
Our mission
The mission of the Society of Interventional Radiology is to improve lives through image-guided therapy.
SIR Foundation
The SIR Foundation is dedicated to fostering research in interventional radiology, advancing scientific knowledge, increasing the number of skilled investigators, and developing innovative therapies that lead to improved patient care and quality of life. The Foundation supports innovation through the development and enhancement of minimally invasive image-guided therapies.
We are IR
The Society of Interventional Radiology recognizes that the success of our mission draws strength not just from the clinical expertise of our physicians, but from their backgrounds and experiences as human beings in the world. An innovative, competitive IR workforce requires more than market competencies—it must also carry the power of innate, authentic human connection.
Our society values a culture of excellence in which all members of the IR community are accepted, respected and embraced.
Our commitment
- We are the voice for IRs and advocate for them at the national and international level.
- We support all members in their preferred model of IR practice at every stage of their careers through tools and education that ultimately benefit patients.
- We recruit and develop the best and brightest talent from all backgrounds to advance the specialty within clinical medicine and to better represent the patient population IRs serve.
- We commit to antiracist and antisexist efforts, policies and programs that aim to increase the numbers of underrepresented minorities and women within our specialty.
- We promote a culture of inclusion in all aspects of the society’s programs, policies, communications and services.
The 2025 annual reports
2025 was a milestone year for both SIR and SIR Foundation, and the 2025 SIR Annual Report captures only some of what SIR has done to elevate interventional radiology’s role as a provider of longitudinal care.
This year, our video Annual Reports are a brand-new way we SIR, along with the specialty of interventional radiology, is always innovating!
