University of Western Australia – MD4 IMP3 Selective

The Neurointervention/Interventional Neuroradiology IMP3 selective rotation is organised through the MD program at the University of Western Australia, and allows students to be exposed to the role of endovascular and minimally invasive therapy in the management of neurovascular conditions such as:

subarachnoid haemorrhage

intracranial aneurysms

hyperacute ischaemic strokes

craniocervical vascular occlusive diseases

cerebral and spinal vascular malformations

epistaxis

hypervascular craniospinal tumours requiring devascularization

Lesions requiring invasive transvascular neurophysiological or biochemical testing

The rotation is based at the SCGH site and is fully clinical, and students are expected to become a part of the clinical neurointervention team, comprising of the neurointervention fellow, service registrar, two resident medical officers, under the supervision of the consultant, and participate in daily ward rounds, attend stroke calls and other duties.

Students will be assessed as per the criteria set by the University for IMP3 Selective placements.
