Chapter membership is available to physicians who have been certified in a radiological discipline by the American Board of Radiology, the American Osteopathic Board of Radiology, the Royal College of Physicians or the College des medecins du Quebec, or who are engaged in nuclear medicine and have been certified by a specialty board which is a member of the American Board of Medical Specialties or its Canadian equivalent.
Membership in the Virginia Radiological Society offers a great way to communicate with other radiologists across the state in order to advance our common goal of improving the quality of radiological care.
