The CAR Affiliate Societies had a prominent role in the development of educational sessions, resulting in a scientific and educational program highlighting cardio-thoracic radiology, abdominal radiology, emergency and trauma radiology, and pediatric radiology.
The program will also feature one pre-conference hands-on workshop focused on Emergency Radiology.
Virtual Trainee Day is back by popular demand and includes a full virtual day of sessions and lectures on Friday April 5th geared specifically to the needs of radiology residents and fellows.
Friday April 5
Virtual Trainee Day
10:00 AM - 4:30 PM
This year's theme is body imaging so be prepared for lectures on high yield topics ranging from an introduction to acute mesenteric ischemia to an approach to interpreting a post-TACE liver examination. We have an exciting plenary session where fellows and early practice attendings share their experiences as residents and offer tips and advice they wish they had known. Join us on this day dedicated towards helping radiology trainees across Canada with not only honing their interpretive skills but also navigating their future career goals.
