BIDMC VIR Faculty Awarded 2023 Harvard Medical School Shore Fellowships

Congratulations to Dr. Julie Bulman and Dr. Colin McCarthy, Division of Vascular & Interventional Radiology at BIDMC, who have each been awarded a prestigious 2023 Harvard Medical School Shore Fellowship.

Dr. Bulman’s work, “Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing in Interventional Radiology,” will use TDABC analysis—a novel true cost assessment method—of interventional radiology (IR) procedures to better understand the value of IR and provide hospitals with data to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Her mentor is Dr. Ammar Sarwar.

Dr. McCarthy’s work, “Patient Satisfaction with Virtual or Augmented Reality for Anxiolysis During Image-guided Procedures,” incorporates immersive virtual reality as an option for anxiolysis for patients undergoing the placement or removal of implantable venous access devices. His mentor is Dr. Muneeb Ahmed.
