2010 RAD-AID Conference (Monday, November 1, 2010 at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine): REGISTER NOW

Each year, RAD-AID holds a free conference on international radiology for developing and emerging countries to improve global health services. The RAD-AID Conference brings together nongovernmental humanitarian organizations, academic medical centers, government, and businesses with individuals of all backgrounds such as radiologists, public health officials, technology engineers, economists, medical technologists, nurses, physicians, and business leaders. The conference is a lively interactive forum with discussions of how medical imaging can be improved to boost international health care. The 2009 RAD-AID conference (read summary) had sixty attendees, and led to a consensus white paper published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (Click here to read).  This year, you are welcome to join!

Presentations at the 2010 conference will include new global community service programs, emerging research on clinical models for delivering imaging services to limited-resource regions, international economic development strategies, innovative technology approaches for building radiology abroad, and educational programs for those interested in serving internationally, such as residents, students, and practicing health personnel. Some examples are as follows: RAD-AID will present its work with Project HOPE from China and India; ITW will present its project in Uganda; ACR will discuss its work in Haiti, and much more! In 2010, the RAD-AID conference will be held on Monday, November 1st on the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine campus (see map) in the same location as last year. The conference has free registration in addition to providing free breakfast and lunch to all who attend.  Space is running out, so please register soon.
