Fuji Medical to offer SCAR scholarship

Fujifilm Medical Systems USA Inc. has created a scholarship to alleviate the expenses for a prospective PACS administrator to attend this year's annual meeting of the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology's (SCAR) PACS Administration Overview Course.

The annual meeting is set for Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from May 20 through May 23. PACS Administration Overview Course is planned for May 19.

The Fuji scholarship is valued at more than $2,000, covering the cost of airfare, hotel, the overview course, and registration for the full SCAR conference.

A panel of SCAR members will select the recipient, evaluating applicants on a brief essay, their CV, and application form. A link to more information and the application can be found at www.fujimed.com.
