New Horizons in IR: Private Practice Insights & Strategies
with Dr. Mark Wilson
Interventional radiology is unique in the way that much of what an IR’s practice looks like is extremely contingent upon their practice setting following training - whether it be community, academic, private, or hybrid. Dr. Mark Wilson joins host Dr. Donald Garbett to discuss his own journey of transitioning from a large, physician owned group to forming his own private IR practice in Spokane, Washington following a major hospital contract shift.
