United Imaging Radiology Management Program
Two days of case-based leadership training for academic radiology’s next department chairs, vice chairs, and administrators — held during the AAR 75th Annual Meeting.
The newly renamed AAR–United Imaging Radiology Management Program is now accepting nominations for the 2027 cohort. It remains built around one method: real institutional cases, worked through in the room, alongside keynotes from radiology leaders who’ve made the calls themselves.
The course is intentionally limited to a smaller cohort to keep every session a conversation, not a lecture. It’s built for mid-career and senior faculty and administrators ready for larger leadership responsibility — not an introduction for junior faculty.
