Reaching Out to The Community

The Goldberg Center participated in “Kids at UCSF Day: Promoting Equity for Girls and Boys,” a community outreach program for fifth-graders from San Francisco's Hunter's Point neighborhood. Breiman guided 50 students through the Radiology Department, demonstrating various imaging modalities. The students particularly enjoyed taking stereoscopic 3-D voyages through the human body and a hands-on ultrasound session, in which they scanned their abdomens. As a souvenir, they all received an image of their liver, spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, or a kidney. Breiman and Reser received certificates of appreciation from the Executive Vice Chancellor for their involvement in the program.
