ACR fellows application

One of the highest honors the ACR can bestow on a radiologist, radiation oncologist or medical physicist is recognition as a fellow of the American College of Radiology. ACR Fellows demonstrate a history of service to the College, organized radiology, teaching, or research. Approximately 10% of ACR members achieve this distinction. The achievement of Fellowship is a result of nomination in accordance with the Bylaws, meeting the qualifications of the Committee on Fellowship Credentials and election to Fellowship by the Board of Chancellors of the ACR. In addition to the general qualification of “outstanding contributions and service to radiology,” more specific nomination guidelines include:

• The minimum eligibility requirement is 10 years of post-training ACR membership.
• At least two endorsement letters from active ACR Fellows are required.  Only one endorsement may be submitted by a colleague from the same business entity. 
•  Submit endorsement requests to members using our membership directory
• Changes cannot be made to an application after selecting Submit to Society. 
• Notification letters regarding selection to become a Fellow are sent to candidates

Service and participation in the Society is one of the major ways those interested in becoming a Fellow can enhance their application. The Virginia Radiological Society is supportive of starting the application process for those who meet the qualifications and is interested in helping to guide those who aspire to obtain Fellowship Degree.
