Overseas Opportunities with the Dorothy Lorimer Bursary. There is a way for aspiring researchers to intertwine with international colleagues through The Dorothy Lorimer Bursary.
LIVE from #ASMIRT2026, Steve joins past-ASMIRT President Carolyn Heyes to discuss Dr. Laura Di Michelle's amazing experience in bringing back overseas research from Optimax; and unpack how radiographers can get packed, and return home with more than just a gift-shop souvenir.
As Chief Radiographer at the Alfred Hospital, Dorothy Lorimer was a passionate mentor who would study abroad and bring her findings back home to Australia. As part of her estate, the Dorothy Lorimer Bursary continues her legacy of curiosity, providing radiographers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore research beyond the boundaries of Australia.
