Hands-on skills training & Simulation Center


The hands-on skills training program at SIR 2026 brings interventional radiology education to life through immersive, simulation-supported, and case-based learning. Please note that this is a non- CME off ering.


Each session invites participants to move beyond observation and into active procedural experience—refi ning technique, testing new tools and applying clinical judgment in a realistic, mentored environment. Guided by expert faculty and powered by high-fi delity simulation, the hands-on skills training program delivers a dynamic learning experience that connects clinical reasoning with technical execution.


Saturday, April 11 8:30 a.m.–6 p.m.


A high level of patient satisfaction within OBL settings is expected to contribute to market growth, with dedicated and focused teams of healthcare providers enhancing patient experiences. This satisfaction is partly due to the shift towards minimally invasive procedures, which are preferred by patients and facilitate quicker recovery times. This ultimately leads to a sense of fulfi llment and satisfaction in providing quality patient care.
