The field of interventional radiology (IR) has undergone a historic transformation since 2014, marked by the approval of the IR residency program. This paradigm shift has revolutionized the traditional training pathway, which previously comprised a 1-year vascular and IR fellowship after diagnostic radiology residency. The introduction of integrated and independent IR residencies, including the option for Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR), has reshaped the landscape of IR training. The implementation of the IR residency has been exceptionally successful, with the IR residency continuing to be one of the most sought-after residencies for medical students. Additionally, the option for IR training in diagnostic radiology has been retained, accommodating both ESIR and non-ESIR residents. With the continuous growth of accredited programs and rising popularity of IR as a specialty, the future of IR appears limitless.
自 2014 年介入放射学(IR)住院医师项目获得批准以来,该领域发生了历史性的转变。这一范式转变彻底改变了传统的培训途径,此前的培训途径是在放射诊断学住院医师培训之后进行为期 1 年的血管和 IR 奖学金培训。综合和独立的 IR 住院医师培训的引入,包括介入放射学早期专业(ESIR)的选择,已经彻底改变了 IR 培训的格局。IR 住院医师培训的实施非常成功,IR 住院医师培训继续成为医学生最受欢迎的住院医师培训之一。此外,还保留了在放射诊断学中进行 IR 培训的选择,既可以容纳 ESIR 居民,也可以容纳非 ESIR 居民。随着认可项目的不断增长和 IR 作为专业的日益普及,IR 的未来似乎是无限的。
