My Short-Term Neurointerventional Training in Thailand Supported by a Women’s Observership Program of the World Federation of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology

Abstract

This short report describes my personal experience of 1-month neurointerventional training at Ramathibodi Hospital in Thailand, supported by a women’s observership grant from the World Federation of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology, in which many interventional neuroradiology (INR) fellows from various regions of Thailand also participated. The training program allowed me to experience numerous neurointerventional cases and to acquire skills on how to function as a member of the INR team. This experience prompts me to contemplate the significance of team-based medicine and the role of women in the field of neurosurgery and INR.
