Moorefield Economics Fellowship, Call for Applications
The James M. Moorefield Economics and Health Policy Fellowship, sponsored by the Economics and Health Policy Department, will give radiology residents direct personal exposure to the ACR's economics activities.
The ACR Department of Economics and Health Policy is accepting applications from third and fourth year residents and fellows for its Moorefield fellowship. The James M. Moorefield Economics and Health Policy Fellowship provides a radiology resident or fellow direct exposure to, and hands-on experience with, the functions of the ACR Department of Economics and Health Policy and the Commission on Economics within the ACR. The department is responsible for all ACR activities involving the reimbursement and health policy issues that affect radiologists', radiation oncologists' and medical physicists' practices.
The two-week program is designed to better inform residents about reimbursement and medical policy issues, including development of new CPT® codes, the valuation process, Medicare national and local coverage of radiology and radiation oncology procedures, and coverage by third-party payers and managed care organizations. We are calling for Moorefield Fellowship applications and will select three candidates for this prestigious position. Each selected individual will complete their fellowship at separate times throughout the 2008-2009 academic year. The deadline for submission of applications is April 15, 2008 and the final decision will be made in early May 2008.
