International recognition and networking

Interaction between societies

SIR’s goal is to build a global network of interventional radiology resources and organizations. To do this, the society strives to maintain ongoing communications with national leaders and key societies. Building relationships, identifying regional needs and regional programmatic opportunities strengthens the global face and impact of IR.

Speakers Bureau

SIR’s Speakers Bureau is a digital resource that will allow SIR members to search for interventional radiologists at all career levels who have spoken at national and regional meetings, conferences, workshops, or other continuing education programs.

 

SIR international Gold Medal recognition

The SIR Gold Medal is presented to individuals with continued distinguished service to SIR or to the discipline of cardiovascular and interventional radiology. Service to IR may include teaching, basic research, clinical investigation or other activities. Nominations must include a written description of a nominee's qualifications for the award, as well as a detailed curriculum vitae. The primary nominator is responsible for initiating the submission of at least two letters of support from other SIR members.
