Within the radiology department at LSU, I gave several lectures on MRI of the Abdomen and Pelvis and various topics in Musculoskeletal imaging as well as Case conferences primarily with a body MRI theme; I also gave chalkboard lectures to the radiology residents on MR physics that were well received. Outside of the department for two years, I was the radiologist in charge of image presentation/discussion at the weekly Tumor Board conference, a position I enjoyed.
