Richard L. Morin, PhD, Fellowship in Medical Physics
The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) is proud to support the development of young medical physicists through its Richard L. Morin, PhD, Fellowship. This fellowship provides one or two medical physics residents the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the ACR.
