Volunteer with RAD-AID Business Education
RAD-AID Business Education pilot in Ethiopia
The RAD-AID Business Education Program was developed in 2018 following requests from several of our global program participants. They requested formal radiology management and/or administrative training and education. RAD-AID International developed a core team consisting of a radiology educator, two administrators (one that is also an attorney), and a radiologist with business management expertise to develop this program.
To help determine the areas of need or interest, a business education readiness assessment tool was developed. This tool is available to all RAD-AID country directors or managers. Upon completion of the readiness assessment, the business education team will work with the country team and hospital administration to develop a focused training plan for the requesting facility.
RAD-AID will send a team or individual as needed to requesting sites for their education. We are also developing on-line education in conjunction with the Learning Center. This process will allow us to do timely remote training as desired.
