The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) has launched the BeRAD Professionalism Award.
The new award will recognize health systems, imaging centers, hospitals, clinics and other facilities in which medical imaging technologists and radiation therapists demonstrate a culture of professionalism, with the current application cycle open until September 30, ASRT said.
Organizations that earn the award will receive a hallway banner to hang in a lobby or department to share the achievement, a customized plaque to commemorate the award, and a one-year group membership to the ASRT for up to 25 staff members. In addition, award winners will be invited to send a representative to the Honors Evening at the 2025 ASRT Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting in Reno, NV.
Applicants will receive feedback by February 15, 2025, and award winners will be announced in April 2025. Two awards will be given in the inaugural cycle. The award was spearheaded by former ASRT President Brandon Smith, the organization noted.
