Driving Change: Leadership is for Everyone

Click to Download the Full Issue and Resources

In the past, many radiologists believed that, unless their goal was to become the chair of their department or an executive in their practice, they didn’t need business and leadership training. Now more than ever, it has become abundantly clear that healthcare isn’t just about medicine. At all levels, it’s about leading change, driving quality improvement, and implementing value-based care.

Simply put, leadership is for everyone.

In the face of today’s unprecedented health, social, and economic challenges, rapidly addressing changing priorities is top of mind for many radiologists. But none of us could have forecasted just how fast those changes would hit.

No matter what challenges you’re facing, now is the time to focus on honing your existing leadership and business skills and learning brand-new ones to help you succeed in today’s profoundly altered healthcare landscape.

The Imaging 3.0 case studies in this collection demonstrate how radiologists across the country have applied leadership skills learned from the ACR Radiology Leadership Institute® to become change agents.

There’s something here for every radiologist who wants to improve their business or leadership skills. By reading these stories of leadership in action, we hope you will better arm yourself with new abilities and fresh perspectives to master the challenges ahead.
