An Economics Primer for Radiology Residents
The price for this program is $200 per resident with a minimum of four residents per program. The ACR is committed to offering top-quality, affordable training to residents and aims to ensure the next generation of radiologists are prepared to enter the field of radiology.
Course Overview
Enrolling your residents in the RLI Resident Milestones Program gives them a collaborative and active learning experience that helps fulfill ACGME requirements and contributes to the development of well-rounded radiologists.
All you need is a local faculty member who can serve as a point-person and facilitate local activities with support and guidance from the RLI Milestones faculty.
Residents will learn how radiologists get paid through private and federally funded insurance programs, develop practical skills such as coding and gain perspective on how payment reforms and emerging technologies might affect practice in the future.
