Radiology in Dubai?! Q and A with Dr Umair Janjua

On my recent visit to Dubia I caught up with a good mate of mine to talk about Radiology in the Middle East and how you can make it work for you!

[@rifathassan3854]

This was very insightful! 🙌

[@THOOODAI]

Does the lack of access to prior imaging or clinical notes frustrate you as a teleradiologist? Do you find yourself having to equivocate a lot more?

[@freddielaker3494]

I know Medica I think are the only teleradiology firms provide access to prior images

[@ImranLasker]

Most of the time they pull priors for you ready. But if they’re not you just let them know and they’ll pull them for you.

Great video!

[@shoaibhassanov3882]

What an average salary of radiologist in uae ?

[@samdoherty2753]

Great insight! Can you do a video on your thoughts on the impact of AI on radiology and what the future may hold?

[@ImranLasker]

Thank you! I did one on AI a while ago. Will update it soon but still feel the same :Artificial Intelligence and Radiology (Imran's Drive Time) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZbchmN-h9F5qtE

[@jacobnieves7728]

Does this global telerad stuff apply to US-trained docs as well? Or are there weird licensing rules and stuff in place? Thanks!

[@ImranLasker]

Must depend on the company. I’ll try to find out

[@shakeelg123]

Which teleradiology companies, if any, allow registrars to work for them?

[@ImranLasker]

Some of them do allow regs but it won’t be full reporting. Usually it’ll be along the lines of protocolling, or if you’re senior plain film reporting. I’m pretty sure everlight do the protocol bit

[@sanghamitrasaha10]

What are the job opportunities for intervention radiology in Dubai ? How many years of experience is needed after IR training ?

[@ankitgrewal5467]

Can indian graduate doctors with FRCR do this teleradiology work ?

[@ImranLasker]

@@ankitgrewal5467 depends on the tele company and the registration you’ll require. With UK you’ll need to be on gmc specialist register

[@ankitgrewal5467]

@@ImranLasker Thanks...Can you guide me about the procedure to get in GMC Specialist register post FRCR (post MD Radiology in India) ?

[@ImranLasker]

@@ankitgrewal5467 unfortunately i have no experience with this. Best thing would be to contact tele companies directly for advice on this
