Keynote Speaker:
James J. Abrahams, MD
Professor of Diagnostic Radiology and Surgery,
Neuroradiology Fellowship Director, and Chief of ENT
Radiology at the Yale University School of Medicine, New
Haven, Connecticut, U.S.A.
Dr. Abrahams has dedicated his life to teaching Radiology and is respected and endeared not only by his students at Yale,
but by students and physicians nationally and internationally. He is known as an engaging and entertaining lecturer who is
able to simplify difficult concepts and present information in an interactive fashion. Dr. Abrahams has twice won the Teacher
of the Year Award from the Yale Radiology Department, and has also won the Society of Distinguished Teachers Award from
the Yale University School of Medicine and the Excellence in Education Award from the Yale Radiology Department.
He was the Director of Medical Studies at the Yale School of Medicine for many years and instrumental in integrating
radiology into the medical school curriculum and is Director of the Yale Physicians Associate Program Radiology Course.
He has been a visiting professor nationally and internationally including, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Canada, and Turkey
and was part of the relief mission in Sir Lanka after the Tsunami.
Dr. Abrahams has contributed to the medical literature with many articles and chapters and is best known for his work on
imaging of the jaw and Dental Implants. He is credited for introducing this area of medicine into the field of Radiology.
Dr. Abrahams’ journey to his current position in radiology at Yale University was rather untraditional having started by
graduating from Medical School at the Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara in Mexico. After graduation he completed a
year and a half of surgical residency in Buffalo, NY and then worked as an Emergency Room physician in Buffalo for a year
prior to starting his Diagnostic Radiology Residency at the Albany Medical Center of Union University in Albany, NY. He then
completed a one-year Fellowship in Neuroradiology also at Albany Medical Center, and then a second year of Neuroradiology
Fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, CT where he has remained ever since.
