Overview

Join us on September 10th and 11th for RISQCS 2021! (Registration opens May 1, 2021)

We welcome you to another exciting interactive and highly educational Risk Management, Quality and Safety symposium geared towards our global Interventional Radiology community!

To facilitate attendance of global participants, this year’s meeting will be held both livestream and on-site in Boston, MA.

The symposium’s ongoing mission is to provide a constructive community space that supports honest, in depth and informative insights on the ever-evolving, multi-dimensional landscape of complications, adverse events, medical error, risk management and litigation in IR through engaging collegial sessions that provide practical learning for the practicing IR and IR-to-be.

Our goal with this complication-centered Quality and Safety conference is to fill a current educational void in the field of IR and support progressive practice-building discussions and peer-learning on adverse events, ethical dilemmas and other controversial issues in IR, specifically designed for practicing Interventional Radiologists and IRs-in-training, with special attention to early career IRs.

To accomplish this objective, this year's exciting agenda will include the 5-following core educational components:

Ethics, Challenges, and Risk Management in IR: (Friday, September 10th, 2021)
Early Career as an IR: Mistakes made. Lessons Learned: (Saturday, September 11th, 2021)
Standards of Practice Debate: (Saturday, September 11th, 2021)
Complications Mastermind: (Saturday, September 11th, 2021)
RISQCS Master’s Keynotes: (September 11th and 12th, 2021)

How I've managed Bad Complications: A Career in Review: Anne C. Roberts MD, FSIR, University of California San Diego Health
Complications, Safety and Innovation: Reflections on my Career as an IR: David Kumpe, MD FSIR (formerly at University of Colorado School of Medicine)

*At this time, we are planning a *hybrid* meeting with in-person and virtual live stream options. The RISQCS 2021 Organizing Committee will make a final decision on the format for this meeting in May 2021.
