Call for Submissions

We are excited to announce the Trainee Day at the Canadian Association for Interventional Radiology Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place in St John’s, May 20^th, 2026.

As the future leaders in interventional radiology, this is your opportunity to showcase your knowledge, skills, and innovative approaches to the wider professional community. We invite you to submit your most intriguing and instructive cases for consideration and presentation.

This year, we will be structuring the day to include two sections: a case presentation section (maximum 10 minutes/presentation) and an interactive show-and-tell ‘Guess the Procedure’ section.

Eligibility for Submission:

• Residents: Those currently enrolled in a radiology residency program in Canada and who are members in good standing with CAIR.
• Fellows: Those undergoing fellowship training in interventional radiology in Canada and who are members in good standing with CAIR.
• Medical students: medical students from Canadian institutions with a keen interest in interventional radiology and who are members in good standing with CAIR.

Submission Criteria:

• Relevance: Cases should be pertinent to the field of interventional radiology.
• Originality: Submissions should be unique and not previously presented at other conferences or published in journals.
• Quality: High-resolution images with clear annotations. Accompanying text should be concise, clear, and provide educational value.
• Ethics: Ensure patient confidentiality is maintained at all times. Any identifiable patient information should be removed or anonymised.
• Format: The presentation slides must be anonymous; your name and your institution, and any identifiable marks should not appear anywhere on the presentation. Please only submit PowerPoint files. Images and videos can be low-resolution in a submission file, but are expected to be in full resolution when presenting.

 For the “Guess the Procedure” show and tell section:

• Submit PowerPoint presentations only, which can include images and/or videos up to 4 slides.
• Presentations may need to be adjusted after submission to fit the format for the session.
• Include a 250-word summary of the case.

There may be instances where your case is selected for a different section than the one you submitted for. If that occurs, you will be informed accordingly.

Additional documents:

• A letter of intent explaining why you would like to attend.
• A short, updated CV (maximum 2 pages) that must include contact info (email address and phone number).
• A letter of standing or a letter of support signed by any supervising staff radiologist.

This is your moment to shine and contribute to the enrichment of our community’s collective knowledge. Not only will this be an excellent platform for learning and interaction, but it will also provide invaluable exposure and feedback from esteemed professionals in the field.
