ACR asks for your vote

The American Medical Association (AMA) is holding a vote to distribute seats between medical specialties within the organization’s House of Delegates, and the American College of Radiology (ACR) is pushing its members to vote for the ACR to represent the interests of radiology and its subspecialties.

According to the ACR, a vote for the organization is supported by the Radiologic Society of North America (RSNA), the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS), the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO), the Societies of Interventional Radiology (SIR) and Nuclear Medicine (SNM) and other specialty organizations. Delegates from these societies, along with the ACR, constitute the AMA Section Council on Radiology.

One delegate in the House is allotted for every 1,000 votes for a particular society. AMA members can vote by calling 1-800-621-8335, or by clicking here.
