Abstract
Visiting Professorships (VPs) have significant benefits for both the guest lecturer and host institution. Such opportunities increase knowledge dissemination, research collaboration, opportunities for junior faculty members, and educational material that shores up perceived weaknesses in the host institution's training program. While VPs provide these benefits, such invitations are often costly due to travel and accommodation expenses, which can be challenging for host institutions. The COVID-19 pandemic - with the forced social and work distancing - has mandated that radiologists rethink how they interact and collaborate within their department and also within the larger medical and radiology communities. Virtual platforms have become critical for communication and education, and in this altered academic environment have provided an opportunity for us to redesign how VPs are designed. The virtual VP removes many of the cost and time burdens associated with travel and even enables greater communication where it might not have been economically or time-feasible. We present a virtual Microsoft Teams (Redmond, WA) based platform for facilitating VPs in all subspecialties and for all ranks called the Radiology Lecture Exchange.

Visiting Scholars Program to enhance career development among early-career KL2 investigators in Clinical and Translational Science: Implications from a quality improvement assessment. J Clin Transl Sci 2020; 5:e67.

Abstract
CTSI Career Development Award (KL2) programs provide junior faculty with protected time and multidisciplinary, mentored research training in clinical and translational science research. The KL2 Visiting Scholars Program was developed to promote collaborative cross-CTSA training, leverage academic strengths at host CTSAs, and support the career development of participating scholars through experiential training and the development of new partnerships. This manuscript provides a detailed programmatic description and reports outcomes from post-visit and outcomes surveys. Since 2016, 12 scholars have completed the program, with 6 scheduled to complete it in 2021. Post-visit surveys (n = 12) indicate all scholars reported the program valuable to career development, 11 reported benefit for research development, and 11 expansion of collaborative networks. Outcomes surveys (n = 11) revealed subsequent scholar interaction with host institution faculty for 10 scholars, 2 collaborative grant submissions (1 funded), 2 planned grant submissions, 1 published collaborative manuscript, and 3 planned manuscript/abstract submissions. The Visiting Scholars Program is a cost- and time-efficient program that leverages the academic strengths of CTSAs. The program enhanced KL2 scholar training by expanding their professional portfolio, promoting research development, and expanding collaborative networks. Resources to support the program are shared in this report to expedite the development of similar programs at regional and national levels.

JOURNAL OF BREAST IMAGING 2020; 2:492-500.

Abstract
The role of a visiting professor (VP) has long been used as a model to share medical knowledge and new advances between different teaching institutions. As with all subspecialties, breast imaging has institution-specific differences in resources and faculty. Sharing of resources between programs can have a profound impact on enriching educational experiences for learners. Our conceptual design of a VP lecture exchange program was between two academic medical centers, Virginia Commonwealth University Health System (VCU) and MedStar Georgetown University Hospital University (MGUH), in the subspecialty of breast imaging. The program was designed to supplement potential areas of weakness in the breast imaging educational curriculum at each respective institution. The program also sought to create opportunities for long-term mentorship and collaboration between institutions. Three faculty members from VCU and three faculty members from MGUH participated for a total of six lectures (three lectures at each site). Participating residents and faculty completed anonymous surveys following each lecture regarding the lecture exchange program experience. The survey responses showed that the VP exchange was well received at both institutions. The VP exchange process was relatively easy to arrange, benefits both institutions, and could even be expanded to the virtual environment.
