      Highlights

      • The survey data revealed specific Interventional Radiology (IR)-related competencies where perceived confidence was low (extremity venography and imaging artifacts specific to IR), creating opportunities for targeted teaching by IR educators.
      • Implementation of virtual board exam review courses may enhance resident board preparation, in addition to popular study resources such as practice problems and board review-specific textbooks.
      • A virtual IR review course for the ABR Core Exam may offer a resident-preferred approach and increase confidence in IR subject areas.
