IR UpFront
Graduating residents are invited to join SIR’s Early Career Section
The Early Career Section creates resources for new IR physicians, and we are trying to grow our section. Become a member of the section today! The Early Career Section (ECS) is composed of Interventional Radiologists in their first 8 years of practice; however, membership is open to all individuals interested in supporting the mission and objective of the section. The purpose of the ECS is to provide a platform in
which members of SIR new to the practice of interventional radiology can develop a knowledge and resource base, network, participate in decision- making and serve as a resource to the SIR.
You may receive a survey: Take it to help determine the 2025 Medicare Physician
Fee Schedule The Society of Interventional Radiology will circulate an American Medical Association/Relative Value Scale Update Committee (AMA/RUC) survey for MRI-monitored transurethral ultrasound ablation prostate, ultrasound elastography, CT guidance needle placement and telehealth office visits. The data acquired through the survey process will be aggregated and analyzed to build value-based recommendations that will be presented at the September 2023 RUC meeting.
The survey will be sent to a random selection of SIR members. It will ask respondents to apply their clinical knowledge and expertise to address time and value questions related to these services. The recommendations approved at the September RUC meeting will be relayed to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for final appraisal and execution in the 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.
If you receive the survey, please complete it as soon as possible.
