Distinguished Achievement Award
Recognizing highly notable service to the profession of radiology.
About the Award
The Distinguished Achievement Award recognizes individuals who exhibit notable service to the College and the profession of radiology or whose achievements reflect favorably on the field at a national level. The ACR® Board of Chancellors recognizes up to three individuals each year with the award.
We welcome nominations from any current member or fellow of ACR. Individuals eligible for the award include radiologic technology or nursing leaders, statisticians, leaders in business management, leaders of other medical organizations, philanthropists, legislators, authors and media representatives.
If you know someone who's served the College well, but isn't eligible for the Gold Medal, nominate them for the Distinguished Achievement Award.
