Cadaveric Interventional Radiology Skills Course (CIRSC) Cork 2025

The Cadaveric Interventional Radiology Skills Course (CIRSC) Cork is delivered by UCC/CoMH and the Radiology Department at Cork University Hospital. This one-day experiential education and training course will be held at the ASSERT Centre, College of Medicine & Health, UCC, Cork, on Thursday, February 6th, 2024.

The course is aimed at senior radiology specialist registrars with an interest in interventional radiology (3rd/4th Year SpRs) and interventional radiology fellows. It is goal-directed to improve operator performance and safety in real-life interventional scenarios in ultrasound and fluoroscopic image-guided procedures. The course is performed at the ASSERT’s state-of-the-art medical simulation facility and will run in a simulated Interventional Radiology Suite environment using fresh frozen cadaveric specimens. The use of fresh cadaveric specimens allows for high-fidelity simulated clinical practice.

The course is limited to 12 places with participants rotating through 3 cadaveric stations (4 at each station). This maximises intervention time for each participant and allows for one-to-one tuition from the expert faculty.
