The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has invited the ESR to join their efforts to advance cancer management through the IAEA Rays of Hope (RoH) initiative by supporting RoH Anchor Centres.
RoH aims to assist resource challenged countries in establishing or expanding their capacities in radiotherapy, radiology, and nuclear medicine. RoH Anchor Centres will train fellows; organise training courses for healthcare providers; participate in IAEA coordinated research projects; promote networking; and provide experts and mentorship.
The IAEA has invited the ESR to provide radiologists to support RoH Anchor Centres, whose tasks will include:
- Insights and expertise in curriculum development and improvement
- Collaboration in designing and implementing professional development initiatives
- Evaluation of Infrastructure for Education and Training
- Guidance in establishing robust quality management frameworks
- Providing clinical expertise to optimise the application of innovative technologies and techniques
- Clinical and Implementation Research
- Cancer management strategies
- Collaboration in exploring innovative approaches to optimise the use of resources in cancer management
Support is expected virtually or onsite (travel cost coverage is envisaged).
If you are interested in serving as an ESR representative to join the IAEA’s pool of volunteers, please send your CV (1-2 pages) and motivation letter to [email protected] by April 30, 2024.
The ESR Board of Directors will select five candidates for this initiative.
The ESR’s collaboration in this IAEA initiative is based on formal Practical Arrangements on cooperation in the area of diagnostic imaging, including hybrid imaging, which the ESR has signed with the IAEA.
We look forward to your application.
