RRA Task Forces
RRA is working to develop research strategies pertinent to megatrends that will shape the future of radiology. Each year, the RRA establishes a small handful of task forces to understand these trends and help guide radiology departments as they address new challenges. Task forces for the current year are listed below.
Each task force disseminates its findings through a presentation at the AUR Annual Meeting as well as white paper submitted for publication in the journal Academic Radiology.
Task forces are composed of volunteers with all levels of training and experience, including medical students, residents, fellows, faculty, and thought leaders.
