TJ Turner | Co-President (IRIG)

I grew up in Kernersville, NC and studied Japanese and Chemistry at UNC Chapel Hill. My love for language learning motivated me to complete 3 separate exchange programs in Japan and Germany. My interests in medicine include minimally invasive treatment modalities, embolization techniques, and global health.

I grew up in NJ and studied Chemistry at UNC (go Heels!). After moving to NYC for work and an MPH, I returned to UNC for medical school, where I’ve been involved in Student Government, the Association of Women Surgeons, and co-founded the Women in Radiology Education (WIRED) group. If you have questions about preclinical experiences with UNC IR, including the Castillo Scholars Program, please reach out!

I am from Durham, NC and I have been Interested in IR since high school. IR is at the forefront of medical technology, covering a wide array of minimally invasive procedures, and I am ecstatic to be able to take a multidisciplinary approach to assist patients one day. I am delighted about serving as the Co Vice-president of IRIG and look forward to sharing information about the field throughout the duration of my role.

I am from Charlotte, NC and attended UNC Chapel Hill for undergrad where I majored in health policy and management. I discovered IR early in my first year of medical school and have learned to love it because of the genuinely enthusiastic people and the ability to treat a diverse array of medical conditions with procedures.
