CBR and SPR will select Brazilian residents to participate in JFR 2020

The French Society of Radiology (SFR) will pay homage to Brazilian radiology in 2020, during the French Radiology Day (JFR), which will take place in Paris, from October 2 to 5.

Nine Diagnostic Imaging residents will be selected to participate in the event, receiving free registration from the SFR, financial support for the purchase of airfare and accommodation. Three of these residents will still be selected to participate in a Junior Quiz during the event, a traditional competition in the JFR program that aims to reconcile the competitors sent by the honored countries – in 2020 they will be residents of Brazil, China and the host France.

The Brazilian College of Radiology and Image Diagnosis (CBR) and the São Paulo Society of Radiology and Image Diagnosis (SPR) will jointly select the nine residents who will attend the event. Those interested in participating in this process must:

  • be an active member of the CBR and/or the SPR;
  • be studying R3 or R4 in 2020 in service recognized by CBR;
  • be fluent in French (in addition to the event's programming being practically entirely in French, three residents will be nominated to participate in the Junior Quiz, therefore having to communicate in French);
  • send an updated curriculum (CV), expressing your university and specialization path traced so far;
  • present a reference letter drawn up by the head doctor of your residence, a document in which the person in charge must describe the candidate's professional qualities;
  • present a motivational letter written in the candidate's own hand, material in which he must explain the reasons why he wants to participate in the project;
  • prepare a scientific poster for the event, submitting the abstract to the SFR by March 5, 2020.

 

The above material must be sent by interested parties who meet the minimum requirements for both entities (CBR and SPR) in the e-mails educacao@cbr.org.br It is sprglobal@spr.org.br, until the day January 20, 2020. Between that date and January 31, CBR and SPR will select the nine best candidates enrolled in the process. After this selection, the three residents who will participate in the Junior Quiz will be highlighted. The final result of the entire selection will be disclosed by the entities in their means of communication, on February 1st.

It is worth remembering that, as listed in the requirements, those selected will have to prepare a scientific poster for the event, and must submit its abstract to the SFR by March 5th. Information on how this summary should be prepared will be released later by the CBR and the SPR.
