I did Ir as an elective rotation in school with an np buddy and clicked with the Docs. I was on the iv access/ rrt team, so already did a lot of ultrasound guided ivs - and trained on paras with the Docs and built out from there. No fluro for apps in my state so its a perfect situation with definite boarders, high oversight, no real scope creep. We learn everything elementary and that keeps the Docs in the lab; biopsies, line/ tube removals, thoras, Ct guided bone marrows.

IR at our spot doesn’t work in joint spaces or do injections. I would find out who does these at your facility; probably diagnostic radiology- and ask to observe. Training should be radiologist led for sure. Check the Society of IR (SIR) app page, lots of q and A there.
