  • Summary

  • Historically, public recognition and understanding of IR has been limited, with a significant portion of patients unaware of interventional procedures and the field as a whole. How can we improve awareness of IR and minimally invasive treatment options? Dr. Mina Makary discusses this and his recent study on public perceptions of IR, with host Dr. Michael Barraza. Dr. Makary is a vascular and interventional radiologist and an Associate Professor of Radiology at The Ohio State University. --- This podcast is supported by: PearsonRavitz https://pearsonravitz.com/backtable --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Makary states that less than half of the public believes IRs are physicians, highlighting a knowledge gap with potentially significant implications for patient care and treatment decisions. The doctors delve into possible solutions to address this issue, including educational interventions targeting both the public and healthcare providers, the potential impact of name recognition on public perception, and methods to enhance IR awareness through media and direct engagement with primary care providers. The episode also emphasizes the need for ongoing research and efforts to improve understanding and recognition of IR to ensure patients have informed medical options. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 03:23 - Study Methodology and Findings 08:13 - Challenges and Solutions in IR Awareness 10:23 - Impact of IR Procedures on Public Perception 15:16 - Future Research and Awareness Efforts 23:40 - Conclusions --- RESOURCES 2023 Paper - Public Awareness of Interventional Radiology: Population-Based Analysis of the Current State of and Pathways for Improvement: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36764444/ 2019 Paper - Primary Care Provider Awareness of IR: A Single-Center Analysis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31235412/ 2024 Paper - Impact of Educational Videos on Patient Understanding of Interventional Radiology Procedures: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39198139/ BackTable VI Podcast Episode #454 - Moral Injury in Interventional Radiology with Dr. Mina Makary and Dr. Jeffrey Chick: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/454/moral-injury-in-interventional-radiology BackTable VI Podcast Episode #195 - Disclosures of Conflicts of Interest with Dr. Mina Makary: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/195/disclosures-of-conflicts-of-interest BackTable VI Podcast Episode #62 - Protect Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself with Dr. Mina Makary: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/62/protect-yourself-before-you-wreck-yourself
