Diagnostic Angiography
X-ray exam of the arteries of the human body.

To define the site and extent of the abnormality to determine the best treatment options.
The physician inserts a catheter through a small nick in the skin into an artery, usually the femoral artery, guides the catheter into the artery by manipulating it while watching under fluoroscopy.
A contrast material is injected through the catheter while the x-rays are taken to visualize blood vessels.
Alternative to surgical treatment of many conditions which results in significant reductions in the risk, pain, and recovery time compared to traditional surgical treatments.

Graduate Medical Education Mastering The
Core Competencies
Our institution is a designated:
• Area of Critical Need (A.C.N) in South Florida • Healthcare Professional Shortage Area (HPSA ID: 112999123Y)
Our Mission is to support Postgraduate Medical Education in collaboration with medical schools and affiliates; in order to graduate competent physicians capable of delivering comprehensive, compassionate and continuous health care to future generations of Floridians.
• National Health Services Corps Site•(Designated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration)
Larkin provides generous loan repayments and substantial benefits for our trainees if in exchange they dedicate postgraduate time to provide healthcare to the indigent, uninsured and underserved population of our state.
Florida is one of states with the lowest resident-to-population ratio, facing a serious physician shortage due to the lack of GME slots available
Florida is also a state with a fast growing population, and changing in demographics aging, being one of the “oldest” states, with the highest percentages of people age 65 and older making it essential that national, regional and local candidates and medical students have the opportunity to choose Florida as the place to receive their Post-graduate Medical education and establish their future medical practice.
