School of Radiology Technicians

Housed in the Limonade campus of the State University of Haiti, the School of Radiology Technology is a project conceived in 2013 at the request of the State University of Haiti board of Directors. The mandate was to create a new school where eligible underrepresented students would obtain a bachelor degree in Imaging Technology, the first of its kind in the country. 

​

At the completion of the program, the trainees will have the appropriate knowledge to work as
multimodality radiology technologists in Plain Radiograph, Ultrasound, Mammography and CT scanner.  

 

Additional tracts such as Nuclear Medicine and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, although not currently available in Haiti, are built in the curriculum.

In 2015, Dr. Nadia Biassou, Professor of Radiology and radiation oncology at George Washington University, and daughter of the late Dr. Wesner Biassou, himself an early member of the Haitian Medical Association Abroad (AMHE), teamed up with Dr. Ernst Garcon, professor of Radiology at Columbia University and brought the program to the AMHE Foundation with the goal to raise support in the Haitian medical community. 

​

Under the leadership of Dr. Emmanuel François and Dr. Yves Manigat, the foundation welcomes the program with open arms. In 2021, the program officially launched its first cohort at the Campus of Limonade, Cap-Haitien with the collaboration of Dr. Eveline Moise and Dr. Fritz Deshommes, President of the State University of Haiti.

As the first cohort is about to complete its training, we are looking forward to welcoming a second group of students in the program. The AMHE Foundation vows to maintain its support and is actively raising funds for the school of Radiology Technology at the State University of Haiti, Limonade Campus.
