Vascular and Interventional Radiology Fellowship
A one year fellowship (2-year fellowship will be considered, with a significant dedicated research component).
The Department of Medical Imaging at Western University is pleased to offer a one-year fellowship in vascular and interventional radiology at the combined campuses of London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), including Victoria Hospital (VH) and University Hospital (UH) and St. Joseph's Health Care (SJHC). The fellowship includes exposure to all aspects of vascular and non-vascular interventional radiology, along with non-invasive vascular imaging. It will also incorporate an integrated experience of teaching, research and clinical care.
LHSC is composed of two main sites: Victoria Hospital and University Hospital. Victoria Hospital is a level 1trauma centre and attached to the London Regional Cancer Centre, the main oncology referral centre for Southwestern Ontario. It is also a large regional vascular centre and contains an attached pediatric hospital. University Hospital has an active hepatobiliary/transplant service, which is one of two such services in Ontario. Both hospitals are also dialysis centres. SJHC is largely an ambulatory centre with a large urology stone management practice and exposure to ports, varicocele embolization and musculoskeletal injections amongst other general procedures. All of these services, along with other clinical services contribute to a rich exposure to a varied patient population in both adult and pediatric interventional radiology.
The particular strengths of IR at Western University include:
- Exposure to peripheral vascular intervention
- Large referral centre for HCC and neuroendocrine carcinoma
- Large and active TIPS service
- Access to Robarts and Lawson research institutes, world class facilities
- There are six IR suites in total (three at Victoria Hospital, two at University Hospital and one at St. Joseph's Health Care). There are 10 IR attending physicians. The fellowship program allows for up to two fellows, simultaneously. The fellowship academic cycle is from July 1st to June 30th.
