The second conference our program was in attendance at, was SIR, which was held in Boston, MA. we would first like to acknowledge that Dr. Hector Ferral, was recognized as a Fellow of SIR for all his outstanding work in the field of Interventional Radiology.

Dr. Ferral and Dr. Fairchild were both quite busy at SIR this year. Dr. Ferral coordinated two sessions at SIR: "Expanding the Role of IR in Women's Health" and "Legal Issues for Protecting IR". Both Dr. Ferral and Dr. Fairchild gave talks during these sessions,they are listed below:
