Addressing trainee education needs

Residency Essentials was developed to fulfill a strategic goal of the society to provide a universal curriculum that will enhance the breadth and consistency of residency training in accordance with Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidelines and expand training in disease-specific areas not specifically addressed by ACGME.

To address this goal, a comprehensive curriculum was created. Primarily developed by APDIR members and subject matter experts familiar with ACGME requirements, the curriculum will provide all interventional radiology residents with well-rounded knowledge, from the essentials of clinical IR care to disease-specific treatments, research fundamentals, and the business and economics of medicine.
