ACR Radiology Leadership Institute Summit
Each year the IRS sponsors several IRS members – full members as well as RFS members- to attend the annual ACR Radiology Leadership Institute (RLI) Summit. The RLI is 2.5 day immersive weekend conference held each fall in Boston that delivers professional development programming, leadership skills training, and networking opportunities for radiologists at every career stage. Led by world-renown radiologists and business experts, the sessions help residents and practicing radiologists alike to advance their careers and equip them with tools and strategies to meet business and leadership challenges.
A request for applications will typically be announced at the spring meeting and will also be sent to members via email.
Informatics Fellowship
This fellowship is open to radiology residents and early-career radiologists (radiologists in their first 3 years post-training)
Founded to provide residents and young/early career professionals with hands-on experience in the field of informatics, this fellowship introduces its fellows to initiatives of the Data Science Institute, the ACR AI-LAB, and other ACR Informatics projects. It is a 2 week fellowship and the timing of the sessions are arranged with the fellows and their supervisors to accommodate their training and work schedules. At the close of the fellowship the fellows will write and submit an informatics white paper.
In addition to covering the fellow’s travel and living expenses, the ACR provides a $500 stipend. Applications are online on the ACR website. For more information, visit Informatics Fellowship page.
The Neiman Institute Fellowship in Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy Research
This fellowship is open to radiology and radiation oncology fellows and early-career radiologistis (radiologists in their first 5 years post-training).
Founded to provide fellows and early career members an opportunity to gain experience in clinical effectiveness and health policy research, this fellowship aims to foster new researchers who will provide evidence to inform health policy and radiology practice that will promote effective and efficient use of health care resources and improve patient care.
Fellows will engage in a research project during their fellowship year, working with mentors and collaborating scientists with expertise in health economics, decision sciences, health services research, operations and optimization research, data science and biostatistics. They will learn and apply health services research methods focused on demonstrating the value of imaging through measured clinical and cost outcomes as well as understanding its impact on health policy.

AIRP Radpath Education Fellowships
(early career radiologists/radiologists who have completed training)
Founded to provide radiologists with additional experience after completing training, the AIRP offers a one year fellowship in both Musculoskeletal Radiology and Abdominal Radiology. The AIRP fellowships provide unique access to the case archives in radpath correlation cases and military/government healthcare settings
The Musculoskeletal Fellow has the opportunity to review numerous correlated cases submitted to the AIRP by residents attending the Radiologic Pathology Courses. The study of the pathologic basis of abnormal radiologic images is enhanced through review of case material, didactic lectures, and intramural conferences in the AIRP.
The Abdominal Fellowship at the AIRP includes a combination of abdominal and pelvic imaging. Clinical work is performed at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD (3 days per week) and focuses on MR interpretation; however, the fellow will have the opportunity to interpret radiographs, CT and ultrasound exams as well. The fellow will participate in multiple interdisciplinary conferences, including gynecologic-oncology tumor board and urology conference. Finally, over 300 GU cases are submitted to the AIRP and are reviewed annually with the fellow. These cases are reviewed with our pathology colleagues at 1-2 conferences per week.
Fellows are expected to perform scholarly work and present their work at a national meeting (e.g. SAR, RSNA, and/or ARRS). Overall, the AIRP fellowship provides a well-rounded experience allowing transition to either private practice or academics with a unique exposure to the pathologic basis of abdominal disease.
The fellowships are 1 year in length starting on July 1 – June 30. Graduating fellows will receive a Certificate of Completion. To learn more, visit Fellowship in Radpath Education.
Valerie P. Jackson Education Fellowship
This fellowship is open to radiologists, radiation oncologists, and medical physicists.
Created to provide educational activities for radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and medical students, this is a one year fellowship that offers exposure to the operations of the ACR Commission on Publications and Lifelong Learning (CoPLL) and the Commission on Patient-and-Family-Centered Care (PFCC). The goals of the fellowship include acquainting fellows with the wide range of lifelong learning activities for residents and practitioners as well as with how the CoPLL promotes continuous professional development of ACR members. A fellow chooses a committee from either the Commission on Publications and Lifelong Learning (CoPLL) or the Commission on Patient-and-Family-Centered Care (PFCC), and works with that committee throughout the year, attending the ACR Annual Meeting virtually or in person.
