About ACER

In 2007, the AAR Board of Directors approved the creation of the Alliance of Clinician-Educators in Radiology (ACER). This alliance joins the AAR family of organizations, working to advance the interests and efforts of this large and growing segment of academic radiology faculty.

ACER Rules of Operation 

ACER's Mission:

  • Providing a formal organization and forum for clinician-educators to meet, exchange ideas, and learn new skills that promote and advance the careers of clinician-educators.
  • Providing programming at the annual AAR meeting targeted towards the needs of clinician-educators.
  • Developing and maintaining an information and networking database for the benefit, awareness, and nurturing of clinician-educators.
  • Promoting and developing educational research activities relevant to clinician-educators.
