DVIR Medical Students Electives
DVIR welcomes elective medical students throughout the year. This is an opportunity to experience the many ways interventional radiology impacts upon patient care across many specialties.
Aims of DVIR medical student electives:
Learn how and when various imaging modalities (ultrasound, fluoroscopy, CT) are used to guide procedures
Be familiar with the indications, techniques and potential complications of the following common IR procedures:
Vascular: central venous access, percutaneous angioplasty and stenting
Non vascular: biopsies, drainages, percutaneous nephrostomy and biliary drainage
Oncological: tumour ablation, radio-embolisation, chemoembolization
Learn how patients are prepared for IR procedures and if they are indicated, safe and feasible
Learn radiation protection methods used during fluoroscopic and CT interventions
Opportunity to assist in patient workup, rounds, consent taking and procedures
Types of medical student electives at DVIR
Clinical elective
Clinical plus research elective
Research elective
Electives can either be standalone (i.e. DVIR alone) or in combination with concurrent electives in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology (DDR) and/or Department of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular imaging (DNMMI).
How to apply
Local medical school students (e.g. Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Duke-NUS medical school and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine) should apply via their respective internal medical school application process for electives.
Overseas medical students can find more information on how to apply at the SGH Associate Dean’s Office website.
