We present subspecialty radiologist training for breast imaging at an Academic center in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. The training incorporates remote, in-person, asynchronous and synchronous teaching methods and multidisciplinary conferences. We use a team of US academic faculty under the auspices of the Radiological Society of North America Global Learning centers paradigm. Trainees are Tanzanian radiologists who are pursuing an additional specialization degree in Women's imaging, utilizing an approved 2-year curriculum. Challenges and opportunities in providing image-guided intervention and diagnosis training in the low- and middle-income settings are presented.
