Overview:
Since the inaugural IPR was convened in Toronto in 1987, the IPR has grown into a global event which outlines where pediatric radiology stands today and envisions where it will lead in the future. This year, the full 4.5 days of the meeting will provide a mix of scientific, clinical and non-clinical topics in addition to featured lectures, the ever-popular IPR Olympics, and Shark Tank!
We invite not only members from the two organizing societies – The Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR) and the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) – but all pediatric radiologists and imaging specialists from every nation to Boston to liaise professionally, to meet old friends and to make new ones.
Additionally, to meet the continued demand for remote learning, the planning committee has designated a track within the program to be broadcast live online via the Zoom Webinar platform (slides and audio only). On-demand viewing will not be an option. Participation live, either in-person or remotely, is required for attendance and credit claiming. By offering live broadcast of our hybrid sessions, we hope to broaden the Society’s reach and global impact.
Target Audience:
The educational content is designed for all pediatric radiologists, general radiologists, residents, fellows, technologists and other allied health professionals that care for the pediatric patient.
