Education Committee
COMMITTEE LEAD – Yejun Hong
Yejun is a second year radiology resident at the University of Calgary. On his first day of a radiology elective, he ran into a full day of minor procedures and angio cases. Being involved in paracentesis or prostate artery embolization really made him fall in love with IR! Being involved in CAIR solidified his passion for the field and dream of performing interventions for patients as a career.
Outside medicine, I enjoy staying active by playing tennis, learning guitar, and sometimes driving out to hunt for auroras in Calgary.
