From August 3rd-7th, Stanford Radiology held its fourth annual Japanese Technologist Summer Training Program, a joint educational program in partnership with the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology (JSRT). As in previous years, we had 24 JSRT participants visit for the week, with technical lectures in the morning; tours and workshops in the afternoon; and social activities such as Giants' baseball, a tour of SMIC, shopping, and biking. For the brave of the bunch, Dr. Deb Ikeda once again led a dawn charge up to the Stanford Dish. The lectures were well received (many thanks to everyone who participated!). The highlight of the week was the reception at the new Stanford Medicine Imaging Center, Palo Alto, which gave the JSRT members an opportunity to meet and speak with many of our technologists. The Summer Training Program is a great way to introduce ourselves to the international radiology community, while building strong collaborations and more efficient practices in radiology worldwide. Many thanks again to our speakers and to everyone who spent so much time and effort to make this an ongoing success.
