Name of Host Organization: Sociedad Chilena de Radiologia (SOCHRADI)

Liaison person for the Host Organization and contact information: Dr. Ricardo Wenger presidente@sochradi.cl

Liaison person for the ASNR and contact information: Dr. Noushin Yahyavi nyahyavi@gmail.com  

Preferred dates for the Professorship (a date range is acceptable): October 2027

Duration (a range of durations in acceptable):  7-10 days 

The Host Organization will provide (describe what expenses and resources will be covered by the host organization): Local ground transportation (rides between airport and lodging, rides between lodging and hospital/meeting site), meals, local housing, registration fee to annual scientific program/meeting/congress (if applicable)

Activities expected of the Professor: Deliver didactic lectures, deliver case reviews, visit local hospital(s), participate in local annual scientific program/meeting/congress as a guest speaker. SOCHRADI will provide local accommodation, all ground transportation within Chile related to the academic program, registration for the Chilean Congress of Radiology, and some meals during the official visit. We also plan to organize a social dinner and selected cultural activities.

The proposed 7–10-day program will combine participation in our annual national meeting with visits to academic-clinical imaging centers. Based on our successful experience hosting ASNR outreach professors in previous years, we intend to include activities both in Santiago and, if scheduling permits, in a regional center outside the capital.

The visiting professor will interact directly with neuroradiologists, radiology residents, fellows, medical students, and professionals from related specialties. Activities will include didactic lectures, multidisciplinary academic sessions, and the review and discussion of selected clinical cases.

At the Chilean Congress of Radiology, the professor would be invited to deliver approximately two or three lectures and participate in educational and networking activities with radiologists from Chile and other Latin American countries. The regional component would provide an opportunity to understand the development and challenges of neuroradiology outside the capital while strengthening professional and academic links.
