• To provide a procedurally diverse and volume-intense clinical experience that meets or exceeds the ARRT clinical competency requirements.
• To provide classroom experiences that ensure our graduates successfully complete the ARRT certification examination in Vascular Interventional Radiography. These opportunities include textbooks, a VIR registry review program, and access to the ASRT modules for the Vascular Interventional Radiography certification requirements for the 16 hours of structured education.
