The patient and the case for local IR
The show's front door: what interventional radiology is, why rural access matters and why Travelier exists.
A TravelierIR Podcast
Rural patients drive hours for care that could be close to home. Because those cases should stay home.
A New Model for I.R. in Rural Communities
With Guest: Kavi Devulapalli, MDThe show
Everything that happens around a procedure.
The drive. The hospital. The physician who travels. The community that keeps its care. Beyond the Procedure talks with the people building a new model for interventional radiology in rural America.
Every episode starts with people and plain-language context. No background in medicine or hospital operations needed.
The patient and the long drive, the patient who never makes it, and what local care changes for a community.
Straight answers for hospital leaders: what a program asks of their teams and what to realistically expect.
How Travelier works with each hospital toward its own goals, beyond short-term coverage or a single hire.
