Recognizing that there are instances when the educational needs of an international institution are best served by having an individual faculty member study at a North American institution, the RSNA Research and Education Foundation, in conjunction with the RSNA Committee on Radiology Education (CIRE), established the RSNA Derek Harwood-Nash International Fellowship.

Derek Harwood-Nash International Fellowship Program History

Eligibility criteria: Interested candidates must be promising international radiology scholars who have completed their radiology training, are embarking on a career in academic radiology (i.e. have held a faculty position for 3 to 10 years), and who demonstrate that their specific educational goals can be met most appropriately by a course of study in a North American institution. Qualified candidates must also specify how the knowledge and experience gained from this fellowship will benefit and improve the practice of radiology in both the home institution and the radiological community. Proficiency in English is required.

The CIRE has developed a roster of appropriate host academic centers in North America where fellows may observe procedures and participate in conferences relating to their areas of special interest.

All travel and living arrangements must be made directly by the fellow and the host academic center. The RSNA will provide a stipend of up to $10,000 to cover travel and modest living expenses for a 6- to 12-week period, and education materials. In addition, each fellow will receive a 1-year complimentary subscription to the RSNA journals Radiology and RadioGraphics, on return to his or her home country.
