ACR Advocacy Curriculum
Learn to better advocate for yourself, your patients and radiology.
Advocacy Is for Everyone
The ACR Advocacy Curriculum is designed to build your knowledge of advocacy — what it is and why it is important — but goes a step further to help enhance your skills in all the related disciplines that can make or break your advocacy efforts, including communication, leadership, branding and media.
“Focused. Forward. Together.” isn’t just the ACR tagline, it’s also the inspiration for the curriculum. Built by advocacy experts and fellow radiologists, this ongoing program delivers brief lessons to provide clarity to elements of advocacy that can be confusing or intimidating. Now, those beginning their advocacy journey as well as experienced advocates can move forward to focus on the future of radiology, together.
