In association with the Jefferson Ultrasound Research and Education Institute, the AGBU selected four physicians from Armenia to participate in the Diagnostic Ultrasound Fellowship Program at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. The Ultrasound Institute is directed by world-renowned researcher and educator Dr. Barry Goldberg. The three month intensive fellowship, sponsored with a grant from Nazar and Artemis Nazarian, was directed by Dr. Levon Nazarian, Asst. Professor of Radiology at Jefferson University. Ultrasound, a safe and relatively inexpensive method for imaging the body, is used as a diagnostic clinical tool for a wide variety of conditions. The Armenian physicians received instruction and hands-on training at the Institute in all applications of ultrasound, including interventional, abdominal, obstetrics and gynecology. The Ultrasound Center was established at Erebuni Hospital in 1996 and expanded its facilities and equipment in 1997.
