Episode 59: Centennial Perspectives


Four Rising Radiology Leaders share their most rewarding experiences in the field so far, and their goals for themselves and the future of radiology

September 21, 2023

Join us as the RLI Celebrates the ACR Centennial with two very special episodes featuring two panels of radiology leaders representing different career stages and perspectives.  

In this second episode, host Geoffrey Rubin, MD, MBA, FACR, talks with four radiologists all within the first 10 years following completion of their training.  They share their most rewarding, frustrating and surprising moments and detail a ‘typical’ day in practice in 2023.  

These rising leaders will share their perspectives on the importance of advocacy, concerns and opportunities for radiologist-led practices, the impact AI will have on radiology practice in the next decade, and the definition of success and the resources needed to support that success.

The panel will also discuss the role ACR has played in their career and what they see as key priorities for the coming years.
