Hello, and welcome to the home page of the Residents and Fellows Section of the New York State Radiological Society.
The Residents and Fellows Sections of the NYSRS was formed to serve in an official capacity as advocates of radiology residents in the State of New York. Our purpose is to promote communication among radiology residents throughout the State of New York, to assist in establishing standards for radiological training programs in the State of New York, to provide a forum for the education of residents and fellow, and to provide a mechanism for input and involvement by residents in the educational, socioeconomic, and policy making functions of the NYSRS.
The internet provides an exciting new means by which residents and more senior radiologists may share information. Below you will find a calendar of events organized by the Residents' Sections of the NYSRS. Also, please read the short discussion of internet links provided below. The internet is an invaluable resource of gathering information that would otherwise take many hours of mailings and phone calls. Abundant resources regarding jobs, fellowships, professional organizations, grants and awards, and teaching files are currently available, and more are being added all the time.
Apart from gathering information for personal purposes of career and educational advancement, the internet may aid radiology residents in influencing the course of larger political events involving their profession. The field of radiology and the medical profession in general are in the midst of a pivotal time in their history. Decisions that are being made now and that will be made in the near future are magnified in importance as the health care reform effort takes root and evolves. Given the current turbulent nature of the medical profession, and of the field of radiology in particular, it is now more important than ever to make a difference and to make your opinion known. The New York State Radiological Society, as the sole representative organization of radiologists in New York to the American College of Radiology, is an effective channel by which to influence the outcome of the decision making process on local and national levels.
Please feel free to contact the members of the Residents' Sections of the NYSRS at the addresses below with any questions, suggestion, or comments that you may have. Good luck.
