Join us on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2023 for the ACR® Medical Student Symposium, a one-day virtual experience organized by fellow medical students.

Throughout the day, you will explore the rapidly evolving field of radiology and hear from a diverse group of speakers on topics including, but not limited to: diagnostic and interventional radiology, the role of radiologists in promoting health equity, and matching into radiology.

Topics of Spotlight

  • The Field of Radiology and Subspecialities: Radiology is not just sitting in a dark room. Attendees will learn about subspecialties in the field, gain insight into the patient-facing aspects, and learn about how imaging can assist in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
  • Pathway to Radiology: Medical students will hear from current residents and radiologists about their journeys to radiology and advice on submitting a successful application. Non-traditional career pursuits will also be explored.
  • Equity Topics in Radiology: Health disparities extend themselves to the field of radiology. Attendees will learn about existing initiatives and what steps future radiologists can take to address the needs of underserved communities, both inside and outside the realm of medical imaging.
