ESIR 2025 local host applications

With more than 126 courses hosted in 25 countries since 2006, the European School of Interventional Radiology is the largest academic and medical association-based clinical procedure course programme for IR in Europe.

ESIR courses are designed to fit into the concept of MedTechs’ definition of a Third Party Organised Procedure Training (MedTech Europe Code of Ethical Business Practice) and accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®).
