Education

• Quarterly meetings/seminars for investigators
• Training sessions for systems (access to imaging, scheduling, protocol development)
• Other training as needed for regulatory requirements and grant writing
  
  

We participate in the national CTSA Imaging Work Group (CTSA IWG). Its Educational Subgroup is led by Katarzyna J. Macura, MD, PhD, CTSA Education Subgroup Chair.

CTSA - IWG Educational Subgroup has the following objectives:

• Educate the broad medical community about imaging’s role and capabilities in translational research and
• Specifically educate the Radiology community and trainees about emerging imaging technologies, successful uses of imaging in translational research at other CTSA institutions and methods of engaging themselves in translational research.

CTSA IWG organizes national educational courses related to the utilization of imaging in the translational research. Two educational sessions were held at the annual American College of Radiology Imaging Network ACRIN meeting in September 2009 and at the Radiologic Society of North America meeting in December 2009.
