The Seven Habits of a Highly Effective Interventional Radiology Clinician-Scientist: The Keys to Co-Navigate Your Career as a Research Scientist

Abstract

The 1989 book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Steven Covey is a well-known self-help guide to success.[1] Recently, Mohammad Arabi published a modern play on this book by highlighting seven habits of highly effective interventional radiologists (IRs).[2] However, being a clinician is only one aspect of IR, and as the specialty continues to grow, the role and importance of an IR-led evidence-base is becoming apparent.[3] Evidence-based medicine now forms the core of daily clinical decision-making, guidelines, recommendations of regulatory bodies, and government funding.[4]
