ACR Chapters

Get Involved withYour ACR Chapter

American College of Radiology® (ACR®) chapters play a vital role by offering ACR members the chance to participate in local meetings, connect with fellow radiologists and advocate for radiology at the grassroots level. Members can also influence national ACR policies and procedures through the ACR Council and contribute to the development of ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Guidelines. The College's 54 chapters encompass all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada and the Council of Affiliated Regional Radiation Oncology Societies.

Chapters have representation in the ACR Council, allowing members to voice local needs and influence national radiology policy during the annual meeting.

Political Advocacy

Chapters represent members' interests in state and local government, impacting legislation and regulations.

Educational Opportunities

Chapters provide timely educational programs tailored to local needs, often offering CME credits.

Volunteer and Leadership Development

Members can engage in volunteer roles and leadership positions within the chapter and ACR committees.

Influence on Reimbursement Decisions

Chapters facilitate input into reimbursement matters through connections with local Carrier Advisory Committees.
