Join Us for the Next TIGER Course!

Complications in Interventional Radiology – How to Recognize, Prevent, and Troubleshoot:

Are you ready to strengthen your IR knowledge and sharpen your clinical skills? The Tiger Course is your gateway to mastering the essentials of interventional radiology. Designed for medical students, physician assistants (PAs), PA students, nurses, technologists, and residents, this course delivers practical, high-yield education in a dynamic and interactive format.

This year’s program takes a deep dive into one of the most critical aspects of IR practice: complications and how to manage them. Learn directly from leading experts as they share real-world insights on:

• Neuro-interventional complications
• IVC filter retrieval challenges

• Non-vascular procedures – biliary drains, percutaneous nephrostomies, and biopsies

Through expert-led lectures, case-based discussions, and hands-on learning, you’ll gain the confidence to anticipate, identify, and troubleshoot complications effectively—skills that can make all the difference in patient outcomes. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and elevate your IR expertise!
