Artist’s Statement: 

Education is considered to be one of the most important portions of the service to foreign medical facilities. I have had the privilege of working at the Myungsung Christian Medical Center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the last five years as a volunteer radiologist. I also taught the medical students of Myungsung Medical College attached to the hospital.  

RF (Radiofrequency) Ablation for HCC (Hepatocellular Carcinoma) is a highly sophisticated procedure done by Interventional Radiologists. I had the privilege to start the first two-year Interventional Radiology Fellowship with five Ethiopian radiologists from 2016 to 2018, in collaboration with volunteer radiologists from Korea. Not only the trainees but also medical students came to the Angio Suite to observe the procedures. I painted this memorable moment to share with students, faculty and friends of RFUMS.

Education is considered to be one of the most important portions of the service to foreign medical facilities. I have had the privilege of working at the Myungsung Christian Medical Center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the last five years as a volunteer radiologist. I taught the medical students of Myungsung Medical College attached to the hospital. A group of third-year students were rotating in the radiology department for three weeks and shadowing radiologists to learn the basics of image interpretation. I had the opportunity to show them the Interventional Procedures in the Angio Suite such as drainage of abscess and biopsy of mass lesions seen from CT Scans. The Ethiopian medical students showed great interest in learning anatomy, pathologic conditions and special procedures to get the diagnosis and treatment using different imaging modalities. I painted this memorable moment to share with students, faculty and friends of RFUMS.
