SIR strategic plan

2023-2026 Strategic Plan

Over the past 48 years, the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) and SIR Foundation have grown to represent more than 8,000 practicing interventional radiology physicians, trainees, medical students, scientists and clinical associates, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, radiologic technologists and paramedical professionals.

The strategic plan reflects the belief that patient care can be improved through image-guided therapy, SIR seeks to optimize minimally invasive patient care. While we are fortunate to be operating from a position of strength, our most recent strategic plan identifies several important goals we want to achieve over the next 3 years.

For the present strategic planning process, the SIR and SIR Foundation Board of Directors and Steering Council identified priorities that focused on how SIR can support a growing and strong IR profession over a three-year time frame.
