Meet Our Interventional Radiology Fellows

Nate Fagan, MD
2019 - 2020

"When looking for a pediatric interventional radiology fellowship program, I sought out very specific qualities. Qualities which would allow me the best resources and people available in the field.

"One of these qualities was a large case load. The case load I experienced at Nationwide Children's was both robust and very diverse. The breath of pathology seen at the nationally renowned Nationwide Children's Hospital not only prepared me for 'bread and butter' pediatric interventional radiology, but has also equipped me with the skills to handle more complex, less common situations. The fact that I feel confident and able to handle a busy service after only a one-year fellowship should speak volumes about the quality of the program.

"I was also looking for a program that had the option to do research. Because the case load is so large and diverse at Nationwide Children's, they have a wealth of data to pull from. You also have fantastic resources available to you at both the Nationwide Children's and The Ohio State University libraries. Interested parties could write on any topic with these resources and access to some of the most respected interventionalists in the field.

"The final quality in a program that was important to me was learning at an institution with well known interventionalists who could help me with professional networking. To this point, the team of physicians at the Nationwide Children's Interventional Radiology program are nationally and internationally known. This has allowed me an unparalleled experience and networking opportunities.

"My time at Nationwide Children's has been both a challenging and rewarding experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I whole heartedly recommend the pediatric Interventional Radiology Fellowship to anyone looking to unlock their own potential."
