The submission deadline has been extended through Friday, March 28, 2014!

The Foundation of the ASNR, the American College of Radiology (ACR), and the American Association for Women Radiologists (AAWR) will jointly sponsor a mid-career neuroradiologist’s participation in the ACR’s 2014 Radiology Leadership Institute Annual Event. This is the third year of the award; previous awardees are Noriko Salamon, MD/PhD and Pina Sanelli, MD.

Why target an award specifically to women?

While the number of women entering medical schools is approaching 50% nationally, women continue to be underrepresented in a number of medical specialties, including diagnostic radiology, and particularly in neuroradiology.

Women are also underrepresented in all senior ranks of leadership in organized medicine. The ASNR/ACR/AAWR award offers a unique opportunity for mid-career women with demonstrated experience and promise for leadership in Neuroradiology and/or Radiology overall. The 2014 Radiology Leadership Institute Annual Event, held in conjunction with Babson College, will provide the awardee with additional skills and valuable insights.

A review committee comprised of members of all 3 organizations will choose the 2014 awardee, and the results will be announced at the annual meeting in Montreal, Quebec.
