Continuing Professional Development, Training and Volunteering in Gulu and Bwindi
At Imaging the World (ITW), continuing professional development (CPD), skills transfer, training and volunteer programs are vital to reaching our goals. As such, we work with our partners at Imaging the World Africa and rural clinics within our programs to optimize our efforts and opportunities for volunteers. This summer, July 20 - August 3, we took a group of medical professionals and students with us for Diagnostic Shoulder Ultrasound, GU Ultrasound (kidney and bladder) Training, OB Ultrasound follow-up, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner CPD lectures, Ultrasound Guided Shoulder Intervention, Body/Breast Imaging CPD lectures and community service projects. A full list and short description of team members who traveled with us from Gulu to Bwindi, Uganda.
