What value does the format of the VAC bring? The VAC will unite IRs from across the country on a single night, providing them with a platform to exchange their cases, knowledge and outcomes. This event offers attendees the advantage of engaging in interactive discussions during the Q&A sessions following each presentation, featuring the latest insights from today’s leading experts in the field.
How does the VAC promote collaboration and knowledge-sharing? The VAC promotes collaboration and knowledge-sharing by gathering residents and attendings around the country on a single platform and showcase their work. This allows open discussions on everything from patient management to treatment techniques.
What efforts does the VAC make to foster interdisciplinary interactions among medical professionals? Challenging cases often require a multidisciplinary approach and discussion in terms of treatment options. This can also encourage participation of residents from other disciplines related to the case, so that IR residents can better understand the reasoning behind decisions other disciplines make. This fosters respect and future collaboration.
In what ways does this program encourage research initiatives and innovation in interventional radiology? It is a networking opportunity where residents and attendings can interact with one another, expand their knowledge and connection, which may spark ideas or collaborations for future research initiatives and innovation.
Why do you feel this is a good opportunity for residents to submit their cases? It’s a good opportunity for residents to showcase the interesting cases they have done with their attendings while gaining experience delivering succinct presentations. It is also an opportunity for adding to their resume/CV, not to mention award of complimentary SIR membership or Annual meeting registration.
