title: Malaysian adventure.
abstract: The author recently spent 4 months at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as a visiting professor of radiology. In this report he describes his experiences in the country and at the hospital and medical school, which is one of only three in Malaysia. Each day, the author worked one-on-one with a different resident, supervising either procedures or image interpretation. Additional activities included conferences, grand rounds, and medical student teaching. Because of the mixed ethnicity of the population, the incidence and variety of pathologic conditions that were encountered clinically provided an unparalleled educational experience. The author encourages anyone with available time to consider a sabbatical such as this; it is a rewarding personal and professional experience.
