Gold Medal, Honorary Fellows, Distinguished Achievement Award, and Global Humanitarian Awards
The nomination period for the following awards and honors is now open.
- The ACR Gold Medal is awarded by the BOC to an individual for extraordinary service to the ACR or to the discipline of radiology in teaching, basic research, clinical investigation or radiologic statesmanship.
- ACR Honorary Fellows are elected by the BOC in recognition of outstanding contributions to the science or practice of radiology by individuals who — by virtue of residence, education, profession or lack of board certification — are ineligible for admission as members in any category other than international.
- The Distinguished Achievement Award is awarded by the BOC in recognition of highly notable service to the College and the profession, or in recognition of other action or achievement that reflects in a uniquely favorable manner on the College and the profession at the national level.
Learn more about eligibility criteria and submit your nominations for the Gold Medal, Honorary Fellows, and Distinguished Achievement Award by July 1, 2025.
- The ACR Foundation Global Humanitarian Award recognizes outstanding individuals, organizations and programs working to improve access to and equitable delivery of quality radiological services in low- and middle-income countries and in areas of need within more developed nations.

2024 Chapter Recognition Awards
