AMS Medical Imaging Club at UBC

The main purpose of the Medical Imaging Club is to expose undergraduate students to medical imaging and generate interest in various career paths within this field. We will be working with resident doctors from the British Columbia Radiological Society to achieve the following objectives: 1. Provide educational opportunities, such as workshops and guest lectures, to expose undergraduate students to medical imaging (e.g. imaging modalities, career paths, research), 2: Garner interest amongst students in pursuing careers in medicine as a radiologist or nuclear medicine physician by facilitating interactions with physicians through means such as lectures or shadowing (for undergraduate medical students), 3. Address the shortage of medical imaging technicians in BC by highlighting educational pathways, training programs, and job prospects to increase interest amongst students in pursuing careers as technicians (X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI), 4. Promote research (fundamental sciences and clinical) associated with medical imaging by discussing and connecting students with ongoing projects and mentorship opportunities.
