The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) state government relations team has announced that they are continuing the successful Resident Advocacy 101 program this year.
Launched in 2022, the program has been enthusiastically received, with ACR staff and state radiological society leaders speaking to more than 160 residents about the importance of physician-led advocacy.
The ACR Resident Advocacy 101 program is an hour-long webinar led by ACR government relations staff and state radiological society leaders that will teach radiology residents how to become involved in advocating for their patients and their profession. The program was highlighted earlier this year in ACR's Bulletin.
To learn more about state advocacy and bringing the ACR Resident Advocacy 101 program to your institution, contact Dillon Harp, ACR Senior Government Relations Specialist.
