With a friendship built on chai and samosas, Dr. Loice Sitienei and Dr. Matt Johnson are growing the long-standing AMPATH radiology collaboration with new education and care efforts at Moi University School of Medicine (MUSoM) and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Kenya. The pair are coordinating remote radiology lectures by Indiana University School of Medicine faculty for 22 radiology residents at MUSoM and are working towards the establishment of a more robust interventional radiology clinical service at MTRH and eventually an interventional radiology fellowship. https://lnkd.in/gkuTmCHK
