What is IRMEDS?
Our Mission
IRMEDS is a student-led initiative that brings together medical students across Michigan to strengthen interventional radiology education, exposure, and collaboration. We create high-impact opportunities—including statewide lectures, mentorship, journal discussions, and case-based learning—to help students explore IR, prepare for sub-internships, and connect with IR physicians. Our mission is rooted in the belief that early, accessible, and community-driven education can shape the next generation of interventional radiologists and elevate the IR presence throughout Michigan.
