Zotec Partners Drives Educational Outreach for Radiology Leadership Institute in 2014

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (Nov. 4, 2013) Zotec Partners, the industry leader in specialized radiology physician billing and practice management services, announces it is a new affiliate of the American College of Radiology (ACR) and will drive educational outreach initiatives for  “Leading Radiology into the Future,” a national campaign of the ACR’s Radiology Leadership Institute (RLI).

The RLI equips radiology professionals with the leadership skills needed to advance their careers and strengthen the industry as a whole, addressing the needs of radiology professionals from every career level and subspecialty.

In support of the RLI, the ACR launched the national campaign, “Leading Radiology into the Future,” with a goal to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 during the next five years for programmatic and technologic developments and to secure scholarship opportunities for deserving RLI participants. The ACR has invested $1,500,000 of its own funds to ensure the success of this important initiative. Additionally, the College has pledged $1,200,000 to the campaign to reaffirm its support and to build momentum, totaling $2,700,000 in support. 

T. Scott Law, founding partner of Zotec Partners states, “This partnership gives Zotec Partners a unique opportunity to cultivate new leaders and program enhancements that will meaningfully serve the radiology industry so that it is successfully poised for the future. Our professionals will work in tandem with the RLI to develop educational platforms for radiologists that further enhance their understanding and appreciation of corporate culture, strategy, fiscal policy and business management in our changing health care environment. As radiology business leaders, it is our duty and privilege to drive a program that will work to solidify and define radiology’s role in the American health care arena.”

“The RLI is committed to providing radiologists with the superior leadership training they need. However, additional funding is needed to further develop and strengthen the RLI. I want to thank Zotec Partners for making a significant contribution to the RLI campaign, which will undoubtedly make a positive impact on the future of the RLI program,” said Paul H. Ellenbogen, MD, FACR, chair of the American College of Radiology Board of Chancellors.
