The CIRSE’s ETF has established contacts to several medical institutions in Europe that have an IR department in place or perform IR procedures and are willing to offer an internship to medical students to help them learn what it would be like to work as an interventional radiologist.

Two-week internship at the NKUA, Athens

Hear what impact her two-week internship at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens has had on medical student Karolina Brzegowy!

Two-week internship at the NKUA, Athens

We spoke to medical student Barbora Cechova about her two week interventional radiology internship experience at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

Please note the CIRSE only provides medical students with a contact to the institutions but does not organise the internship, student’s stay and accommodation in the host country, or the travel expenses. If you as a medical student are interested in such internship, please make sure that you are able to travel to this country of your interest, have valid VISA (if applicable), can cover the costs and expenses, and meet the language requirements.

Below you can see the list of countries and institutions where you can start your IR career while still being enrolled in the undergraduate medical degree!
