Membership Committee
The NP/PA Membership Committee will be responsible for encouraging NPs and PAs in IR to join SIR and to volunteer within the NP/PA Section. This committee will work to inform NPs and PAs of SIR benefits and resources. They will work with other committees within the section to develop new benefits or resources. They will use the NP/PA Section's SIR Connect community to encourage networking and discussion. Committee members will also work with other national NP and PA organizations (ie AAPA and AANP) to represent and advocate for IR.
Clinical Practice Committee
The NP/PA Clinical Practice Committee is charged addressing issues related to clinical practice in IR. The committee will develop tools and resources to increase expertise in patient and procedural care.
SIR and SIR Foundation encourage members to apply to join one of the volunteer groups that fit your area of expertise or interest. Whether focused on clinical practice, education or advocacy, these groups offer you opportunities to influence the practice and study of medicine, network with colleagues in your field of expertise and participate in leadership activities of the society and SIR Foundation. The call for volunteers opens annually on SIR Connect in August. Applicants must submit an online application by mid-September of each year.
