McLean, Va. (May 10, 2022) – The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) presents “Health Science Highway: Radiology,” a cost-free webinar on Wednesday, May 18, 2022, 5-6:15 p.m. ET via Zoom. Join to learn more about the science that informs the in-demand careers across the radiology field. Registration is open to all interested. View the recording on YouTube.
Distinguished speakers include:
Yueh Z. Lee, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology & Adjunct Assistant Professor in Physics, Astronomy, & Biomedical Engineering, University of North Carolina. Dr. Lee completed his medical and doctoral degrees (Biomedical Engineering) at UNC-Chapel Hill. After completing UNC’s MD/PhD program, he completed his Internship (Medicine), Diagnostic Radiology residency and Neuroradiology fellowship at UNC. He serves as the Department’s “translational” scientist and clinical neuroradiologist. He is a developer of the carbon nanotube CT scanner, and a 1990 alum of CEE’s Research Science Institute (RSI).
Sarah Sarvis Milla, MD, FAAP, Chief of Radiology, Children's Hospital Colorado; Section Chief & Vice Chair of Pediatric Radiology, University of Colorado Department of Radiology; Professor of Radiology & Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine. She earned a BS in Biology from MIT, received her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine, and is board certified in Radiology. She is a 1991 alum of CEE’s RSI program.
This exciting webinar is part of CEE’s “Health Science Highway” series which connects high school STEM teachers with healthcare professionals. In partnership with the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation, this series aims to address the health workforce shortages across the country. The series sheds light on the science behind many career opportunities in health sciences, including radiology, nursing, pharmacology, and more. A playlist of previous programs in the series is on YouTube.

About the Center for Excellence in Education
The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was founded in 1983 by the late Admiral H.G. Rickover and Joann P. DiGennaro, President of the Center. The Center’s mission is to nurture high school and university scholars to careers of excellence and leadership in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and to encourage collaboration between and among scientific and technological leaders in the global community. CEE sponsors the Research Science Institute (RSI), USA Biolympiad (USABO), Teacher Enrichment Program (TEP), and STEM Lyceums. CEE programs are provided cost-free to participating students and teachers. For more information, visit www.cee.org.
About Research Science Institute
CEE’s RSI is a summer science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program collaboratively sponsored with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that combines on-campus course work in scientific theory with off-campus work in science and technology research. Students conduct original, cutting-edge research in state-of-the-art university laboratories, hospitals, and corporate research facilities. Students make oral and written presentations based on their research during the last week of the program. RSI is offered at no cost to all students competitively selected to attend.
