An international visiting professorship in Nepal highlighted innovative radiology practices despite resource limitations. Teaching medical professionals in challenging environments, particularly with sonography, proved effective and rewarding.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Radiology
  • Global Health

Background:

  • An international visiting professorship provided insights into radiology practice in Nepal.
  • The experience involved teaching at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) amidst resource constraints and advanced diseases.

Discussion:

  • The TUTH faculty demonstrated remarkable innovation in adapting medical procedures, such as using feeding tubes for nephrostomy drainage.
  • Diagnostic radiology relied heavily on sonography due to the limited availability of CT scanning.
  • Daily film review exposed a wide range of pathologies, including pulmonary tuberculosis, parasitic infections, and hydatid cysts.

Key Insights:

  • Effective teaching in resource-limited settings is best achieved through hands-on, daily practice, particularly with sonography.
