Shadowing Program

We currently offer shadowing opportunities in Interventional Radiology for UIC Medical Students which are coordinated by the Interventional Radiology Interest Group (IRIG). The goal is to provide medical students the opportunity to closely observe imaging and interventional procedures, gain first-hand experience of how the Radiology Department operates and how radiologists interact with patients and other physicians as an integral part of the health care team.

When

  • Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 7:45 am to 12:00 pm – IR

University of Illinois Hospital

1740 W. Taylor St, Chicago, IL 60612
Interventional Radiology: IR control area, room 2471-2479

 

Specific instruction for IR: On your assigned day, please arrive at the IR suite by 7:45 am and introduce yourself to the attendings/trainees in the work room. They will help you find scrubs and a lead apron so you can observe cases. Try to discuss any case you are observing with the fellow/resident/attending prior to the start so you can get the most out of your experience. Feel free to ask questions!
