Who are the CIR
professors?
Reputed radiologists with wide teaching
expertise nominated by the National Radiology Groups and approved by the
CIR Board of Directors, that revises and updates the résumés and list of
lectures.
How does the Board of
Directors appoint the professors going to the courses?
As of 2004, only professors from the
official catalogue are selected. Half of them are chosen directly by the
organizing society.
The other half is chosen by the
coordinator from members of the Board of Directors, Vicepresidents or
official commissions. The goal is to have at least one official
representative of the College during the event that will be there on
behalf of the CIR President during the official activities and that shall
interact and promote the College with the members of the local society.
On every occasion, this Professor delivers an official lecture called
“The CIR yesterday and today”.
A professor cannot be chosen more than
two consecutive years. A year has to elapse before he may once again be
chosen.
The current faculty
The current faculty was gathered by
Carlos R. Jiménez, M.D., from New Orleans, while he was the Coordinator of
the Courses Committee. We have a registry of 46 professors with their
demographics, area of interest, a brief résumé and a list of lectures.
How many professors sponsor
the CIR every year?
In 2005, the CIR sponsored 16
professors who went to Courses and Congresses in Tucumán, Argentina;
San Juan, Puerto Rico; Cuenca , Ecuador; Panama, Panama and La Paz,
Bolivia.
In 2006, we will have a similar number
that will go to Cordova Argentina; Guatemala, Cartagena de Indias, Buenos
Aires and Guayaquil.
According to the Program, the CIR pays
for transportation and the organizing society covers the local expenses.
How are the professors
selected?
Every candidate must
have high academic standing. The CIR administrator gives the applicant a
form that needs to be filled and returned with the endorsement of the
National Society of his or her country. The applications that are
received at the administration office are sent to three persons appointed
by the directors for evaluation. When they are approved, the professors
are included in the catalogue
