ASNR International Collaboration Committee’s Anne Osborn International Outreach Program: Tools and Barriers, Lessons Learned

Abstract

SUMMARY: The Anne Osborn International Outreach Professor Program, founded by the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR), is dedicated to advancing global neuroradiology education through meaningful collaboration and engagement. This review integrates findings from surveys of host countries and participating professors to evaluate the program’s impact, strengths, and areas for improvement. Host countries praised the program’s high educational value and interactive teaching formats, while professors highlighted the opportunity to make meaningful contributions. Survey data identified logistical challenges, resource limitations, and the need for longer-lasting collaboration. Recommendations include enhancing program continuity, expanding outreach, and addressing infrastructure variability for sustained global impact.
