About the Initiative

Training at Emory prepares radiology residents to deliver outstanding care to highly diverse patient populations in a wide range of health care settings. By recognizing the worldwide interdependence of people and the need for a global perspective in 21st century medicine, global health training is an increasingly important component of residency programs across many specialties.

The Radiology Global Health Initiative at Emory provides residents with several pathways to co-learning, capacity-building relationships with Emory global health partners. Beginning with a resident-led initiative supported by our Adopt-A-Resident Program in 2011, the Radiology Global Health Initiative has grown to include the following programs:

Emory Global Health Residency Scholars Program: This year-long elective for residents and fellows in more than a dozen specialties including radiology, comprises lectures, discussions, and projects that challenge cultural assumptions while promoting clinical and teaching excellence. The Emory residents and fellows spend a month at Black Lion Hospital and Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia teaching their Ethiopian peers what they have learned at Emory and, in turn, learn how to operate as part of a collaborative, indisciplinary team providing care in a resource-limited environment. Each year, two or three radiology residents participate along with faculty like Leann Linam, MD, associate professor, and Gayatri Joshi, MD, assistant professor, who co-chair the Emory Radiology Global Health Committee. Residents are eligible to receive up to $500 in minigrants for teaching projects.

Radiology Global Health Residency Track: With an expectd launch of July 2021, this newest track in the Radiology Residency Program offeres residents the opportunity to focus on global health training and learning over two years. Residents pursuing this track benefit from lectures, discussions, group activities, and a capstone project related to a rotation in an approved global health partner site.

Road to IR: Launched in 2018 by Emory Radiology, Yale Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, and Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, and other partners, Road to IR is building self-sustaining interventional radiology training programs in East Africa. Through outreach and education, Road to IR established East Africa's first accredited IR training program at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 2019, where Emory Radiology faculty like Road to IR's co-founders Frank J. Minja, MD, and Janice Newsome, MD, FSIR, are creating opportunities for trainees to engage in a variety of co-training, capacity-expanding, and life-changing activities during intensive two-week rotations.

RSNA Global Learning Center: Introduced in 2019, RSNA's Global Learning Center (GLC) launched virtually in July 2020 at Stellenbosch University in South Africa and quickly expanded to a second program location at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in September. A team of RSNA members are working with GLC to develop a customized curriculum with in-person, hands-on training, didactic lectures (virtual and in-person), conferences, online courses, and other educational offerings to be available in 2023.

The Radiology Global Health Interest Group welcomes residents, fellows, medical imaging students, medical students, faculty, and staff as members for information sharing, activities, and special lectures and programs.
