Jeff Elbich
I would like to thank my wife Jen and daughter Stella for supporting me throughout this project. Teaching medical students, residents, and fellows about Vascular and Interventional Radiology is my passion. I am indebted to this field and its creators for having the best job anyone could ask for. Specifically, I would like to thank Dr. Barry Stein, Dr. Dan Leung, Dr. Jaime Tisnado, Dr. Malcolm Sydnor, Dr. Dan Komorowski, Dr. Will Fox, and Dr. Shep Morano for exposing me to the field, taking me under their collective wing, and cultivating my interests. Finally, I would like to thank VCU, where I have called home since beginning my medical training more than 16 years ago, for providing a wonderful center to practice and serve our community.
