American Board of Radiology Proposes Changes to Diagnostic Exam
According to the ABR Web site, proposed changes to certification exams
in diagnostic radiology include revisions to the exam's structure,
content, and timing. Luckily, the changes will not affect residents
currently in-training. However, they will affect residents entering
diagnostic radiology training in the near future. Depending on the
readiness of the new exams, the changes will apply to residents who
begin their training in 2009, 2010, or 2011. To review all proposed
changes, visit the ABR Web site.

Participate in the 2008 Intersociety Conference as a Member-in-Training
The Intersociety Committee is a freestanding committee of the ACR and
serves as a gathering place for radiology's leaders. In this forum, each
society has an equal voice in helping formulate solutions to the issues
confronting the practice of diagnostic radiology and radiation oncology.
Two members-in-training will be elected by the ACR Council during the
ACR Annual Meeting and Chapter Leadership Conference (AMCLC) 2008, and
the winners will attend the 2008 Intersociety Summer Conference. The
individuals elected must also write a report on some aspect of the
meeting for publication in the ACR Bulletin.
To run for one of these positions, please ask your chapter to submit
your name to the College Nominating Committee. The deadline for
submitting nominations is Dec. 30. For more information, visit the ACR
Web site or contact Mary Jane Donahue at mjdonahue@acr.org.
