It’s called “Radiology Education Days,” part of the American College of Radiology’s response to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.

The Haiti effort is facilitated by the ACR Foundation International Outreach Program, which provides equipment, supplies and volunteers to facilities in need around the world. Diagnostic Imaging recently caught up with James Borgstede, MD, chair of the ACR Foundation International Outreach Committee, before the trip about the challenges and rewards in such outreach efforts.
