Ewing and Winton in Malawi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During spring break 2020, Fiets and Gates will visit and shadow at the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland. This bilateral exchange has goals of understanding radiology services in different health systems and of incorporating positive takeaways into future practice. The students will gain experience with radiology in an area with different cultures and languages. Additionally, they will observe cutting-edge equipment in a Siemens trial center hospital.<\/p>\n

In July, Ewing and Winton visited Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi with faculty member, Wendy Ross, MS, RT(R)(CT). Additionally, Winton received a Carolina Global Initiative Award<\/a> to support her travel. This visit is part of an established partnership that seeks to strengthen existing radiology services via education for clinicians and radiographers.<\/p>\n

UNC Global Radiology, a chapter of RAD-AID International<\/a>, aims to create a global radiology community through education, collaboration, and innovation. The UNC-Chapel Hill RAD-AID Chapter<\/a> was founded in 2012 by the division and the UNC School of Medicine Department of Radiology.<\/p>\n

The division offers two global health opportunities<\/a> for student technologists in Malawi and Switzerland. Global Student Ambassadors participate in learning opportunities that contribute within established partnerships for a sustainable impact and receive mentorship on best practices within global health pathways.<\/p>\n
