Dr. Guilherme Strieder, a resident physician at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA), was selected to join the Rising Stars for Radiology Grant 2026, a program of the French Society of Radiology (SFR) aimed at training and encouraging young radiologists with academic potential.
The initiative, promoted by SFR-CERF, is a joint action of Société Française de Radiologie (SFR) and of College of Enseignants in Radiology from France (CERF), a leading medical radiology organization in France, offers participants from different countries the opportunity to experience an immersive scientific research program, with guidance from prominent international mentors.
