Honored to host Dr. Jim Spies on the latest @SIRspecialists Kinked Wire podcast.
We discussed building credibility and goodwill as physician leaders, navigating healthcare system demands, leading IR teams, and lessons from his remarkable career. 🎙️

A candid conversation about IR attrition, why residents are questioning the specialty, and most importantly, what we can do about it. Proud to host this one with @drmittelstein on BackTable🎙️
@theAPDIR @theAPDR @SIRspecialists @SIR_ECS @SIRRFS @Georgetown_IR
Why do nearly half of IR residents consider leaving the specialty, and what can be done to change that? 🤔
In this episode of the Backtable podcast, host Dr. Neil Jain (@DigitalAngio) interviews UCSD integrated IR resident Dr. David Mittelstein (@drmittelstein) about a national SIR survey on integrated interventional radiology (IR) attrition. Dr. Mittelstein discusses that pre-residency factors (demographics, prelim year type, prior specialty considerations) were not associated with questioning IR; instead, perceived value mattered more than quantity, including clinic value and junior-year IR experiences.

"One of the strengths of serving in SIR leadership is continuity. I've had the privilege of serving as secretary, then president-elect, and now president-and that structure allows us to keep moving forward.
That forward momentum is built into everything we do at SIR. We see it in our education efforts, practice development, quality improvement, research, advocacy, and partnerships across medicine." - SIR President, @saherssabri

Last lap as a trainee & somehow ended it co-chairing it with my partner-in-crime @GreggKhodorov…not a bad way to go out!
Nothing beats watching your friends level up- still finding familiar faces in the crowd & meeting plenty of new ones.
Until next time…as an attending! 😎
