Fellow of the American College of Radiology

Fellow of the American College of Radiology is a prestigious award that is conferred by the Board of Chancellors.  The Committee on Fellowship Credentials measures each candidate's credentials against the Nomination Criteria rubric where members are not in competition with one another.  The CFC forwards its nominations to the Board of Chancellors for its review and approval decisions.

Among other requirements, candidates must fulfill criteria under one or more domains:

• Service to the ACR at national or chapter level(s) and/or organized radiology/medicine at national, regional, state, or local levels
• Outstanding teaching of diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, and/or medical physics
• Significant scientific or clinical research in radiology or significant contributions to the literature

The minimum eligibility requirement is 10 cumulative years of ACR post-training membership. You may confirm your eligibility with a membership inquiry to FACR@acr.org.

You are encouraged to review the ACR Fellowship Guidelines, ACR Bylaws  and Nomination Criteria or Military Nomination Criteria prior to beginning an application.   

At least two current Fellows must endorse your application; an All ACR Fellows list is posted below for your reference to help identify your potential endorsers.  Use the membership directory to identify the email addresses to submit your endorsement requests through the application platform.

View your chapter's submission deadline in the drop down section below to avoid missing the submission deadline determined independently by the chapter leadership.  Active duty military may submit applications directly to the College by June 30.  Late applications will not be accepted from candidates nor chapter reviewers; the June 30 deadline is a firm requirement.

Attendance at the convocation ceremony during the Annual Meeting is necessary for the honor to be conferred.  Members who applied this year will receive notification letters by December and those selected will participate in the May 17, 2021 Convocation Ceremony in Washington, D.C. unless approval is deferred to a subsequent convocation.
