The ACR® Advocacy Curriculum, designed to demystify advocacy and empower radiologists with practical, bite-sized lessons on communication, leadership, branding, and legislative engagement is now available.

Since its launch, ACR members have produced several high-impact microlessons, including videos about how to speak to a legislator, give an elevator pitch and caucus effectively — all designed by and for radiologists.

Looking ahead, the curriculum will be a robust, ever-growing library of advocacy tools that empower every radiologist, from trainees to seasoned leaders, to become effective advocates. Those passionate about advancing the specialty through advocacy are invited to explore the curriculum webpage and consider volunteering to contribute or promote future lessons.

For more information or to join the program, contact Raina Keefer, ACR Senior Publications Specialist.
