Overview:
The Imaging & Diagnostics Conference will host over 300 attendees and experts for a reverting agenda featuring insights from practitioners in the continent. Heavy focus will be on radiology as a practice in Africa and its role in medicine considering the current healthcare system set-up. We will also address clinical topics giving attendees a well-rounded agenda with multiple focus areas.
In addition, for the first time ever, we will put the spotlight on Registrars in a new session entitled: Radiology rounds - registrar’s case review. This highly interactive session will allow speakers to showcase their diagnosis skills and give the audience an opportunity to ask questions and vote for the best presentation. Furthermore, we will also discuss the practicalities of running a Radiology private practice and the necessary skillset to make this a success.
