S3 E12: Reset button required: how simulation is revolutionizing IR training and patient safety
In interventional radiology, there's no reset button—except in a simulation.
Join Dr. Andrew Kesselman, Dr. Gloria Salazar, and Dr. Jessie Stewart as they explore how endovascular simulators are transforming IR training and patient safety. Learn how simulation shortens learning curves, reduces procedure times, builds confidence in complex procedures like embolization, and enables physicians worldwide to master rare interventions.
Dr. Salazar shares 15+ years of simulation leadership, Dr. Stewart discusses global training at the University of Nairobi, and Dr. Kesselman presents research on procedural efficiency after simulator training. They explore emerging procedures, multidisciplinary team training, and why simulation is essential for modern IR practice and patient care.

S3 E10: From seeing to treating: experiencing radiation-free precision and expanding IR possibilities in an Interventional MRI Suite
In this episode, Joshua Krieger interviews two interventional radiologists, Dr. Erica Knavel Koepsel and Dr. Cliff Weiss, and they sit down to explore how an Interventional MRI Suite moves the clinician from x-ray–based "seeing" to radiation-free "treating." Their conversation highlights relief from the hidden orthopedic and radiation burdens on staff and patients, the real-time precision that surpasses fusion techniques, and the new frontier these advances open for tackling the most complex IR cases.
