RSNA announces award recognizing contributions to community health
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) has introduced the Outstanding Community Impact Award to recognize individuals in radiological sciences who have significantly contributed to patient care and healthcare delivery through community service.
Nominees should have a track record of enhancing patient care, creating new initiatives and forming partnerships with lasting impacts on patient populations, bettering lives and improving community health.
“We recognized that our current award structure highlights achievements traditional to academic medicine, such as publications, research and teaching,” RSNA Board Liaison for Quality and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Jinel Scott, MD, said in a statement sent to Health Imaging. “This award will honor individuals who have made significant impact in their communities, laying the foundation for people and communities to flourish.”
Nominations for this award will be open from March 18 to April 30, and all members of RSNA or the American Association of Physicists in Medicine are eligible. The honoree will be selected by the RSNA Board of Directors and given the recognition at the RSNA 2024 annual meeting in December.
