Student Programme
Let us inspIRe you! CIRSE invites undergraduate medical students to its congresses free of charge, hence giving them the opportunity to learn more about one of the most dynamic, innovative and rapidly growing areas of medicine – interventional radiology!
The CIRSE Annual Congress is Europe’s premier meeting in IR, offering thousands of participants numerous scientific sessions, discussions on the newest medical developments, representation from major medical companies and insights into the latest technical innovations.
The last annual physical meeting took place in Barcelona in September 2019 and welcomed 348 medical students from 30 countries. In 2020 and 2021, we organised virtual CIRSE Summit which welcomed more than 300 students. Just to name a few features of the CIRSE Student Programme: medical students are invited to attend the “Introducing IR” lecture, take part at hands-on training sessions, network with experienced IRs at a mentoring breakfast, and test their newly gained IR knowledge at the students’ quiz. Last but not least, CIRSE also organises a social evening for all CIRSE Student Programme participants that bring all of them together.
