Carrie Hayes

USA

Carrie is an Interventional Radiology Physician Assistant with over 20 years of experience in radiology across several fields including veterinary, pediatric, adult, and interventional. As a sonographer for Duke University Medical Center, she facilitated opportunities to provide global ultrasound education and training as a member of RAD-AID International. This was further enriched by her patient care experiences as a physician assistant. With several years of experience in both private and academic institutions, Carrie has gained invaluable experience as an instructor, proceduralist, and department liaison.

Impact Project

Carrie’s project aims to enhance healthcare for Indigenous peoples, particularly American Indian/Alaskan Natives, through the Indian Health Services. The initiative focuses on delivering high-quality, diagnostic, and point-of-care ultrasound education to healthcare workers serving these communities. To achieve this, the project employs a hybrid education model that combines several approaches. These include self-guided asynchronous learning, frequent one-on-one teaching sessions, workshops, and mentorship programs. Additionally, the model incorporates image review sessions and offers a tailored, standardized pathway for healthcare workers to obtain certification relevant to their specific patient population. This comprehensive approach ensures that healthcare providers are well-equipped to meet the unique needs of Indigenous communities.
