ACR Young and Early Career Professional Section (YPS)
The Young and Early Career Professional Section (YPS™) is a community dedicated to representing and supporting early-career professionals– members under the age of 40 or within the first 8 years of completion of training. Getting involved with the YPS means joining a unique network of peers and accessing exclusive resources to develop your clinical, leadership, and professional skills as you build the career you have spent years training for. Work together to expand what you’re capable of and contribute to an exciting future.
Who We Are
The YPS is led by a nine-member Executive Committee, serving as the voice of the over 6,000 young professional members in the ACR. The YPS Executive Committee, as part of the Commission on Membership and Communications, works to develop valuable early-career member resources, amplify YPS issues and needs at the national level, and provide a network of support to all members in this stage of their ACR and career journey.
Elections for new YPS Executive Committee members are held each year at the YPS Annual Meeting.
Contact YPS@acr.org to get in touch with your Executive Committee members.
