Radiology Business Management Association launches ShopRBMA

The Radiology Business Management Association is proud to announce the launch of its new online shopping experience, ShopRBMA. Accessible through the association’s website at rbma.org, the unified platform allows members to register for conferences and webinars as well as purchase RBMA materials and products using a single, state-of-the-art shopping cart.

ShopRBMA truly modernizes the experience of registering for and/or purchasing resources produced by the association. Members can review and rate events and products, and can see the reviews of their colleagues as well; they can view recommendations for other products and events they might enjoy based on their personal browsing and shopping histories; and they can access their complete shopping history, including items they purchased through RBMA prior to the launch of the platform.

ShopRBMA also offers easy-to-navigate and customizable calendars of upcoming conferences, chapter meetings and seminars, and allows current RBMA members to renew their memberships online. Occasional promotions will allow users to take advantage of limited-time-only deals and discounts.

“The launch of shopRBMA will allow our members a more streamlined, one-stop shopping experience with great new features like product reviews, customized cost information and the use of coupons,” says Jessica Struve, membership and members’ services manager for the RBMA. “It’s convenient, user-friendly and just one more way the RBMA is providing its members with the resources they need, all at the touch of a button.”

ShopRBMA is accessible online now at rbma.org/store.

The RBMA has approximately 2,300 members involved in various management capacities in private practices, academic radiology groups, imaging centers and hospitals.
