Participate in the RFS Journal Club

The RFS facilitates 2 journal clubs, on the topics of Artificial Intelligence and Economics. These journal clubs let trainees interact directly with ACR leaders and gain their unique perspectives on their areas of expertise.

The journal club meets via conference call facilitated by a member of ACR leadership.

 The RFS AI Journal Club has its own YouTube channel which includes all previous AI Journal Club recordings.

Generalist Medical AI: Towards Flexible, Interactive, and Multimodal Models


The exceptionally rapid development of highly flexible, reusable artificial intelligence (AI) models is likely to usher in newfound capabilities in medicine. In this talk, we will discuss a new paradigm for medical AI: generalist medical AI (GMAI). GMAI models will be capable of carrying out a diverse set of tasks using very little or no task-specific labelled data.

Host:

  • Thomas Reith, MD

Guest Speaker:

  • Michael Moor, MD PhD

Women and Diversity Journal Club: Diversity in Radiology Workforce: Barriers for Recruitment, Retention and Advancement of Women and Minorities


The ACR RFS Women and Diversity Advisory Group is hosting an online panel discussion on the importance and challenges of creating a diverse radiology workforce. Even though the benefits of diversity and inclusion have been touted in medical literature and highlighted in publication and social media in recent years, radiology still lags behind many other specialties. In this session, we will review some of the challenges women and underrepresented minorities face in entering radiology and advancing to leadership positions and review evidence-based strategies to overcome some of these barriers.

The panel is consist of three faculty members who are leaders and active advocates in this topic both at departmental level as well as nationally in radiology professional societies.
