Statement of Need

Interventional radiology is a rapidly growing field, constantly evolving and developing new techniques and addressing new challenges. Vascular disease is a leading cause of disability and death in patients over age 50. Nonvascular intervention, especially in oncology patients, continues to increase in most practices. Addressing these and other issues relies on the knowledge and skills of physicians, nurses, technologists and others working within interventional radiology and oncology. Their continual education is critical for staying current with the changes in the technology, treatment and therapies in key areas of interventional radiology.

Accreditation

The Stanford University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Credit Designation:

Stanford University School of Medicine designates this educational activity for a maximum of 13.75 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsT. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
