The IR-in-training has a number of options to consider for their internship year. Although most program directors recommend surgery, a significant number of residents pursue a medicine or transitional year internship. We spoke with four residents-in-training about their internship experiences.In the audio version of "The internship year: An overview of options"  (Summer 2019 IR Quarterly ), contributors share their thoughts on their internships, outlining the pros and cons of each approach.Related resource:Read the text article.  Support the show

"I remember the first case ever referred to us: It was a young patient who was riding on a motorcycle. He crashed and ruptured his pelvis. He was bleeding out, and we didn't have any material to embolize with. So I took his blood, and kept stirring it until it coagulated on itself, and then I injected clots into the artery that was bleeding. It stopped, and we become heroes at MGH. Then the whole field just exploded." —Stanley Baum, MD, FSIR, reflecting on the early days of interventional radiologyIn this episode, which was first published in 2022 on the Sound of IR podcast, host Eric Cyphers spoke with Stanley Baum, MD, FSIR (1929–2022), about his journey and experiences in interventional radiology.
