RSNA International Visiting Professor Program
Instructions for Application
National radiology societies in, or that primarily serve, developing countries are invited to apply
to host an International Visiting Professor (IVP) team. The IVP team will lecture at the host’s
national or regional radiology society meeting. In addition, that society will select and organize
visits to educational institutions that have active radiology training programs with the need and
potential for educational enrichment from a visiting professor team.
The host society is expected to:
• provide hotel accommodations and meals for the IVP team for the duration of their visit;
•
appoint a contact who is fluent in English and able to communicate program, schedule,
and hospitality arrangements with the IVP team members and the RSNA staff contact;
•
complete an evaluation of the visiting professors and the program within two weeks of
the IVP visit.
The host institutions are expected to:
• appoint a contact who is fluent in English and able to communicate and able to act as a
liaison to the visiting professors and RSNA staff through the duration of the program;
•
complete an evaluation of the visiting professors and the program within two weeks of
the IVP visit.
Application Requirements:
 Applications must be completed jointly by the national radiology society and the host
institutions, and must specify the names of institution staff fluent in English, the number of
radiology residents in each year of training, and the percentage of those residents who are
capable of understanding teaching presentations delivered in English. Educational
institutions that are adjuncts of private practices are not eligible for this program.
•
Hosts should be prepared to provide accommodations and most meals for the visiting
professors during their stay. (If this is cost- prohibitive, please write a letter stating your
reasons for partial subsidy for this expense.)
•
Applications should specify educational needs (e.g. subspecialty, modality or organspecific interests), in order of preference.
•
Along with your application, please include a copy of the program from your last society
meeting, together with a proposed 10 to12-day schedule for an IVP team visit.
