RSNA is teaming with the Association of University Radiologists (AUR), the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS), and the Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology Departments (SCARD) to form the Academy of Radiology Leadership and Management (ARLM).
ARLM combines existing leadership and management courses under one umbrella. Courses are offered by all four sponsoring organizations, and they will build upon the educational programs and resources offered by the sponsoring societies online and at their annual meetings, according to RSNA.
Medical imaging professionals can earn a certificate of achievement from ARLM by participating in 50 hours of education across a spectrum of core learning domains, including financial skills, human resources, professionalism, legal/contracting, and academic mission. Of the 50 education hours, at least 30 must be in person. A minimum of three continuing medical education (CME) hours in each domain is required.
The course curriculum includes issues such as quality assessment and improvement in radiology, ethics and professionalism in research, conflict of interest, critical issues facing the profession of radiology, and clinical portfolios. No fees will be charged beyond costs associated with CME activities, and many of those are free to members of the respective sponsoring societies, RSNA said.
