Abstract

Pediatric radiology education for pediatric and radiology trainees and practicing professionals must be adapted to the target audience. In efforts to narrow the gaps in global pediatric radiology education, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's radiology department’s Global Outreach and Education Program has designed specific interventions and curricula according to different levels of training and desired expertise. Our initiatives include an online “Introduction to Pediatric Imaging” lecture series for pediatrics residents in Botswana, Ethiopia and Vietnam; access to a learning management system (Outreach RADIAL) for radiology residents; case-based review sessions for pediatric radiology fellows; and in-person seminars for professionals from Eastern Europe and Africa. Here, we highlight our global education efforts to encourage other departments to take a similar systematic approach to outreach activities.
