Lead With Purpose: 3 Reasons to Attend RLI Summit

Geoff Rubin, MD, MBA, FACR, Chair and Professor, Medical Imaging; Clinical Service Chief of Medical Imaging Banner University Medicine – Tucson, contributed this piece.

Radiology is at a crossroads. Rising imaging volumes, workforce shortages, and escalating burnout are not distant threats — they are daily realities. The question isn’t whether these pressures will affect our practices, but how we as leaders will rise to meet them.

The 2025 ACR Radiology Leadership Institute® (RLI) Summit is your opportunity to rise to that challenge.  

Designed for radiologists at every career stage, this immersive, high-impact weekend delivers the tools, strategies, and insights you need to lead with clarity, resilience, and purpose, even in the face of today’s mounting demands.

This year’s Summit zeroes in on three pillars of modern leadership: operational efficiency, financial fluency, and entrepreneurial thinking — all essential for navigating today’s complex healthcare environment and advancing radiology’s future.

I’m excited about the program we’ve built. Alongside nationally recognized experts in healthcare economics, leadership, and practice management, including renowned faculty from Babson College, we’ll guide you through a transformative experience that will empower you to:

1. Inspire and engage your teams with purpose and confidence
2. Make strategic business decisions that align personal goals with organizational success
3. Think like an entrepreneur to prioritize, problem-solve, and lead through uncertainty.

You’ll apply what you learn in real time through interactive case studies, connect with peers who share your challenges, and leave with practical strategies you can implement immediately.

Whether you’re looking to amplify your leadership, reinvigorate your practice, or shape the future of radiology, the 2025 RLI Summit will help you rise to the moment.
