Visiting Professor Program

The Visiting Professor Program is coordinated by Dr. Sat Somers, in collaboration with the University of Toronto. The program incorporates a minimum of eight visiting Professors a year. An attempt is made to cover all areas of radiology, each year. The speakers are chosen based on their knowledge of the subject and excellence in teaching. Each visiting Professor gives three lectures and shows board-type cases to the residents. These teaching sessions are open to everyone.

The titles for presentation are selected by consensus from a list provided by the speaker. Radiologists, with an interest in the area, and residents provide an input into the selection of the topics. To encourage networking, two residents and a few faculty members invite the visiting Professor to dinner.

Suggestions for visiting Professors are always welcome.
