SYNPOSIS

We cover a wide range of topics, including the differences in IR training pathways between Australia and the U.S., the impact of healthcare models on IR practice, and the cooperation between public and private healthcare. We also highlight the urgent need for more IR specialists in Australia. Additionally, the doctors explore the challenges of public awareness, interdisciplinary and global collaboration, and the ongoing efforts by the Interventional Radiology Society of Australasia (IRSA) to promote IR through public outreach and educational strategies.
