Episode 79: IR Trailblazers 2
Q: What skills beyond procedural ones do you think are important for the next generation of IRs?

Q: How has research influenced your practice and what advice would you give to residents?

Mentorship and the realization that IR offered a problem-solving, hands-on approach to patient care, with the opportunity to tackle complex questions that others could not solve.

Start with the basics, attend relevant seminars, learn the taxonomy used by experts, and progressively build expertise; focus on clinical impact rather than chasing every new technology, and seek leadership roles where possible.
