    Miles Conrad, MD, MPH is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of California, San Francisco. In 2001, Dr. Conrad received his MD from Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire, and in 2002 he obtained his MPH in Quantitative Methods from Harvard School of Public Heath in Boston. He completed his residency in Diagnostic Radiology from the University of Arizona, Tucson, followed by a fellowship in Interventional Radiology from the University of Arizona in 2008.

    Dr. Conrad is Co-Director of the UCSF Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) Center of Excellence and he Directs the HHT Liver AVM monthly meeting at UCSF. He specializes in the treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, liver AVMs, and revisions of those that have been previously treated and have recurred.

    Dr. Conrad is also employed as as Bridges Coach with the UCSF School of Medicine and enjoys being part of early medical education.



    He enjoys working closely with other specialties to coordinate and deliver care to address to close the gap between marginalized patients in San Francisco and those with full access to health care.

    Expertise:
    Interventional Radiology, Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT), pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, liver vascular malformations, complex embolizations, and complex pulmonary vascular procedures.


    Professional Interests:
    Dr. Conrad's clinical and research interests include gallbladder ablation an an alternative to cholecystectomy, hydrodissection for percutaneous ablation, HHT outcomes, medical device development, and endovascular trauma care.
