Global Outreach

The Impact of Global Outreach

Both domestically and around the globe, radiology serves as a vital component of patient care. Yet the World Health Organization reports that two out of three people still have little to no access to these lifesaving medical services. Radiologic technologists play a critical role in solving this global crisis. By working alongside other medical professionals as part of ongoing medical relief projects, our members provide the education, training and resources local health care specialists need in order to become self-sustaining, high-quality facilities.

Global Outreach Fellowship for Medical Imaging Technologists and Radiation Therapists

We’ve partnered with RAD-AID International to provide opportunities to assist with global initiatives. Our international outreach program provides the opportunity to improve access to quality medical imaging and radiation therapy for populations in need. Program participants work with a team of volunteers to provide patient care services, education for the local health care personnel, and information on equipment, positioning and patient safety. Fellowship recipients receive funding for travel and related costs.

The RAD-AID USA Healthcare Disparities Initiative program empowers radiology and radiation oncology outreach to foster health equity for medically underserved communities. These communities and populations have historically suffered disproportionate mortality and morbidity across a range of conditions due to barriers in accessing health care. Fellowship recipients receive funding for program related costs.
