ACR Fellowships:
E. Stephen Amis, Jr., M.D. Fellowship in Quality and Safety
The E. Stephen Amis, Jr., MD, Fellowship in Quality and Safety,
sponsored by the Commission on Quality and Safety, will provide the
opportunity for one radiology resident or fellow to obtain direct
exposure to the functions of the Department of Quality and Safety at the
ACR. The department manages programs that accredit facilities in
mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound, MRI, CT,
nuclear medicine, PET, radiation oncology and ultrasound. The department
is also responsible for the ACR Appropriateness Criteria®, Practice
Guidelines and Technical Standards, BI-RADS®, RADPEERTM, radiation
safety, quality improvement, Pay for Performance initiatives and the
National Radiology Data Registry.
The goal of the fellowship is to expose the candidate to various areas
of the Department of Quality and Safety along with the ACR’s Annual
Meeting and Chapter Leadership Conference (AMCLC). The fellowship is
split into two sessions so that the candidate can participate in key
activities. The chosen candidate will visit one week in the fall as ACR
guidelines are drafted and will return for 3-4 days in late spring to
attend the AMCLC when the guidelines are debated and approved. The
candidate will be required to write a paper on a specific ACR activity
which he/she focused on while at the College for submission to the
Journal of the American College of Radiology.
Applications for the 2008-2009 academic year must be postmarked by March 31st.

processes and the ACR's role in such; it also informs residents about

Valerie P. Jackson, MD Education Fellowship
The Valerie P. Jackson Education Fellowship provides the opportunity for
a radiology or radiation oncology resident, fellow, community or
academic radiologist, radiation oncologist, or medical physicist, or for
an educator with a specific interest in the field of radiology,
radiation oncology, or medical physics to gain direct exposure to the
operation of the Education Department of the American College of
Radiology (ACR). The department is responsible for providing educational
activities that meet the educational needs of radiologists, radiation
oncologists, and medical physicists through stand-alone meetings,
enduring materials, and online presentations, all of which contribute to
lifelong learning in radiology.
The primary goal of the fellowship is to acquaint the fellow with
development processes for a wide range of lifelong learning activities
for residents and practitioners, as well as all aspects of compliance
with ACCME accreditation processes. A secondary goal is to provide an
opportunity for Education Department staff to learn from the fellow
about the current healthcare environment and the educational needs of
residents and practitioners so that the College may better serve its
members.
The length of the Fellowship is one week. Applications must be
postmarked or received by e-mail or fax by May 15, 2009.
