The UC Davis Department of Radiology offers our residents and faculty many opportunities for global radiology outreach. Our focus is on education, since we believe that is the most sustainable way to share our knowledge with colleagues in resource-limited countries. Rebecca Stein-Wexler MD, Section Chief of Pediatric Radiology and Director of Global Radiology Education and Outreach, oversees the following programs:
State University of Haiti Hospital
