RANZCR Virtual Roadshows - recordings available
RANZCR’s pursuit of specialist recognition for Interventional Radiology and Interventional Neuroradiology.
Specialty recognition for Interventional Radiology and Interventional Neuroradiology is a key priority of the College and the recent announcement by RANZCR President, Dr Lance Lawler, confirms that the College will be pursuing the submission of an initial application in Australia in 2022. As part of this application process, it is critically important that the College seek feedback from our members about the College’s plan.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) held two virtual roadshows during November. The roadshows were being offered to provide information on the process that the College will undertake to attain protected specialist titles for Interventional Radiology and Interventional Neuroradiology.
