The 2009 CoR Annual Scientific Meeting: Imaging in Emergencies and Trauma, Kuala Lumpur 30-31 May 2009
Pre-Congress Workshop: QAP in Mammography -28-29 May 2009

Yang Berbahagia, Dato' Dr Zaki Morad bin Mohd Zaher, the Deputy Master of our umbrella body, the Academy of Medicine graced the Opening of the 2009 College of Radiology’s Annual Scientific and Annual General Meeting on 30 May 2009. He magnanimously consented to a dialogue session after the delivery of his keynote address on the “National Specialist Register”. This topic was felt to be timely as it was best that delegates and members of the College of Radiology (CoR) understood this exercise of registration better and provide a direct avenue for queries, clarifications or comments. Dato’ Dr Zaki was not “disappointed” as a lively dialogue session ensued and had to be curtailed so that the schedule would not be upset.

The College of Radiology – Alliance for Radiation Safety in Paediatric Imaging Offer Free Parent Education Materials – 3 Feb 2009
In 2008, the CoR-Academy of Medicine of Malaysia, joined the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging, a coalition of 34 healthcare organisations serving over 400,000 healthcare providers worldwide. The Alliance goal is simple: to raise awareness of opportunities to lower radiation dose used in pediatric imaging examinations through its informational “Image Gently” campaign.

We are now happy to announce that the Alliance has developed new materials to educate parents about medical imaging and to help them track their child’s past imaging exams: “MY Child’s Medical Imaging Record” and “What Parents Should Know About CT Scans for Children”.  Resources for Paediatricians have also been made available. These materials are downloadable at www.imagegently.org

The Ethical and Professional Doctor: The Role of Medical Education, Kuala Lumpur – 6 Dec 2008
The Academy of Medicine and Ministry of Health organised an afternoon series of lectures with a panel discussion on the important issue of the role of medical education in inculcating and grooming a doctor who is ethical and professional. At a time where commercialisation of medicine was inevitable, it was even more important to ensure doctors maintain their professionalism and were able to practice ethically and self regulate. The best place to start would then be in the medical school where foundations for a medical career are built.
