  • 1. Medical Diagnostic Imaging Department, College of Health Sciences, University of Sharjah, Sharjah (United Arab Emirates)
  • 2. Radiology Department, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Scotland (United Kingdom)

Description

Despite the existence of opportunities for postgraduate studies in radiography, the number of radiographers involved in postgraduate education is low and their research production is also considered low compared to other professions. The main aim of this study was to understand the profile of radiography Doctorate holders across the Arab countries, document their current role and identify barriers that may influence research and professional publication activity.
