Frank J. Minja MD, is Associate Professor of Neuroradiology at the Emory University School of Medicine. Dr. Minja is passionate about establishing curriculum-based radiology sub-specialty training programs in East Africa. Dr. Minja co-leads the Road2IR.org consortium which established the first Interventional Radiology Fellowship (2018) in East Africa and will graduate the second cohort of seven (7) IR Fellows this Fall, 2022. Dr. Minja is also Program Director for the RSNA Global Learning Center in Tanzania, which has helped to establish Neuroradiology (2019) and soon Women’s Imaging (2022) Fellowships at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We are excited to share our experiences and lessons learned to help address the severe lack of sub-specialty Radiology training programs in Lower to Middle Income Countries (LIMCs).
