“…A trainee, who has had the opportunity to see better standards of care, can lead the process of assessment, -planning, -implementation, -training- and innovation to improve upon previous experiences of global health efforts. 7 This can be accomplished through opportunities of formal training as residency, fellowship and even research and short term observerships.…”

Background Training of foreign medical graduates in surgical oncology may be an undervalued intervention to improve global cancer care. The aim of this work is to describe the design and results of a clinical training program for international surgeons from a single comprehensive cancer center. Study Design Out of 39 international fellows trained over 20 years, 34 were surveyed about education, research, and current context of surgical practice. A citation and H-index query (h number of publications that each has at least h citations) was performed to assess scientific productivity of each graduated fellow. Results Twenty-one of 39 (54%) came from countries in which English is not the primary language; Europe was the continent with the most graduates 17 of 39 (43%) while only 5 of 39 (13%) were from Latin America. Three of 39 (8%) were women. Thirty-one of 39 graduated fellows (80%) returned to their countries of origin. The survey response rate was 73% (25 out of 34). Seventeen out of twenty-five (68%) work in an academic setting and thirteen (52%) reported surgical oncology as the main clinical practice. Total number of citations and H-index are homogeneous among the different regions from which the fellows originated with a median of 165 citations and median H-index of 5. Conclusions The International General Surgical Oncology Fellowship has successfully trained foreign surgeons for an academic practice in surgical oncology. Most of the graduates have returned to their country of origin and contributed to education and research.

“…Donations of Merge software licenses enabled RAD-AID teams (with Merge support) to install PACS at health institutions in Nicaragua, Ghana, Nepal, and Haiti, with plans to perform installations in Tanzania and Ethiopia at the time of this writing. The essential data collection preparation for these installations is the RAD-AID PACS-Readiness Assessment tool, adapted from RAD-AID's more comprehensive Radiology-Readiness Assessment tool, to engage in preinstallation data analysis on the availability of necessary health IT resources [2][3][4]. This tailored assessment contains questions related to the availability of Internet and intranet connections, computer workstations, servers, DICOM licenses, scanner specifications, and power integrity.…”

“…The forum discussion approaches radiology disparity in terms of economic development, public health approaches, clinical model formulation, technologic innovation, and educational strategies for international medical volunteers, as well as in-country radiology professionals. The fundamental aim of RAD-AID and this conference is to increase and improve radiology for poor and low-resource countries [2][3][4].…”

Radiology in low- and middle-income (developing) countries continues to make progress. Research and international outreach projects presented at the 2015 annual RAD-AID conference emphasize important global themes, including (1) recent slowing of emerging market growth that threatens to constrain the advance of radiology, (2) increasing global noncommunicable diseases (such as cancer and cardiovascular disease) needing radiology for detection and management, (3) strategic prioritization for pediatric radiology in global public health initiatives, (4) continuous expansion of global health curricula at radiology residencies and the RAD-AID Chapter Network's participating institutions, and (5) technologic innovation for recently accelerated implementation of PACS in low-resource countries.
