WRETF Ambassadors

 The World Radiography Educational Trust Foundation (WRETF) Ambassadors are a dedicated team of seasoned radiographers, radiological technologists and radiation therapists from around the world. An Ambassador is a goodwill representative giving his/her time and energies to represent and inform medical communities of the opportunities and benefits offered by the WRETF. Several of our Ambassadors have become WRETF Trustees.
