Welcome to the second issue of Resonance, co-produced by the editorial teams of the JACR and ACR Bulletin. We know you’re busy, and our goal is to help you find some of the best content coming out of the ACR, all in one place … and maybe just bring a smile to your day.
This week, we are thinking bigger about thinking bigger. Read about five luminaries in radiology whose contributions have shaped the future in “Leading the Field” … Consider the effects of radiology on the planet and look at large ideas for leaving a smaller footprint in “Planetary Health: A Primer for Radiologists”… Understand the environmental, social and governance (ESG) movement coming to healthcare systems in “The ESG Movement and Radiology: Opportunities and Strategy” … Look differently at how radiologists can truly make a difference in protecting patients and the planet in “First Do No Harm.”
In other ideas, examine how corporatization is affecting radiology practices in “Venture Capital in U.S. Medicine: A Briefing for Radiologists” … Explore a different approach to care delivery in the podcast “The Joyful Triad of Healthcare Success” … Look at how a trend from COVID-19 is continuing to affect the future in “Radiologist Workforce Changes: Going Remote or Hybrid” … And ponder two out-of-the-box ideas for addressing a growing need for more radiologists: a different way to grow residency programs in “How Will We Solve Our Radiology Workforce Shortage?” and a suggestion to entice retirees back to work in “The Silver Squad Option.”
Take a peek into what might be in store for radiology in "Predicting the Practice of the Future" … Read how the ACR is proactively preparing for that future in “‘Objective ‘Accelerators' Help ACR Move Strategic Plan Forward” … And in observance of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, hear a doctor’s personal story about how his own colon exam experience opened his eyes to ways to improve the process in the podcast “The Importance of Colorectal Cancer Screening.”
Put on your thinking cap and enjoy!
