EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH | Department of Radiology
The LSU Health Shreveport Department of Radiology is dedicated to education not only locally, but regionally, nationally and internationally.
INTERNATIONAL TELECONFERENCE PROGRAM
The International Teleconference Program is an international educational activity created and designed to provide up-to-date education in diagnostic imaging and image-guided interventions to Latin American and Caribbean radiologists and non-radiologists.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE
To promote continuous interactive education in radiology among participating Latin American and Caribbean Universities and LSU Health Shreveport.
BENEFITS
One of the benefits of these courses is easy accessibility. Lectures are given online, and future students do not have to leave their countries to attend classes and get an education. The courses are taught by experienced professors, many of whom practice at some of the best universities in the United States, while others are from Spain and Latin America. Classes are given live in Spanish as most prospective students do not speak English. The lessons are broadcast through the Internet using the Zoom software system. An additional advantage is affordability. The cost of this software and classes is entirely free for students; LSUHS will cover the costs.
COORDINATORS
The program has two types of coordinators, a general coordinator and a local coordinator in each offshore University. The general coordinator is responsible for establishing connections with different universities in Latin America. As well as organizing all lectures and providing a suitable professor, ensuring the program fits the requirements and expectations of the prospective students. The local coordinators are responsible for receiving communications from the general coordinator and distributing them among the members of their institution. They also oversee what is necessary for residents and physicians (radiologists and non-radiologists) to take the classes.
HOW IT WORKS
The live online classes are given to all the universities simultaneously every second Tuesday from March through December.
