Sept. 11, 2024
Radiology residents at Johns Hopkins Hospital and the University of Maryland Medical System learned firsthand about the importance of physician-led advocacy during a presentation by the American College of Radiology® (ACR®) Sept. 10th. Loralie Ma, MD, PhD, FACR, former Chair of ACR’s State Government Relations Committee, and Dillon Harp, ACR Senior State Government Relations Specialist, discussed how to get involved in advocacy at the state level.
