Amirsys® author, Professor Michelle A. Michel, MD, gives presentations and teaching seminars to the Estonian Society of Radiology (ESR) and the University of Tartu's (UT) radiology department.
While in Estonia, Michelle A. Michel, MD (author of EXPERTddx: Head & Neck & Diagnostic Imaging: Head & Neck) and Dr. Ketai, of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, gave presentations at UT and ESR's annual meeting in Tartu.
"We were fortunate to spend a lot of time teaching residents who are self-motivated, enthusiastic and really want to learn," Dr. Ketai said.
Another major goal is the creation of an academic infrastructure to support the development of radiology throughout the country.
"Estonia has all of the ingredients for creating an academic radiology system, but they need help with the academic infrastructure," he said. "It would be a good place to do some clinical research that would be beneficial."
"We gave didactic lectures every morning and case conferences with smaller groups in the afternoon," said Dr. Michel. "We also showed the residents many pictures of the U.S. and of our families and I think they really enjoyed that."
