Criteria for Fellow of the ACR

ACR Fellowship

“One of the highest honors the ACR can bestow on a member in good standing is recognition as a Fellow of the American College of Radiology. ACR Fellows demonstrate a history of service to the College, organized radiology, teaching, and/or research. Only 10 percent of College members have been awarded this honor.”

 

Fellowship is awarded to diagnostic radiologists, radiation oncologists, interventional radiologists, medical physicists, and nuclear medicine physicians at the Convocation held during the ACR annual meeting.

The degree of Fellow of the American College of Radiology has been conferred on the candidates linked below who have been approved and elected by the ACR Board of Chancellors.

Helpful information regarding the Fellowship process can be found in the resource, Pathway to ACR Fellowship.
