Welcome to the New York State Radiological Society Resident and Fellow Section!
The New York State Radiological Society (NYSRS) sponsors and supports a Resident and Fellow Section (RFS) comprised of residents and fellows in radiology training programs throughout New York State. The RFS is run by elected officers and focuses on issues important to residents and fellows during their training in diagnostic and interventional radiology.
The RFS works closely with the many leaders in radiology and business throughout the state and nationally, via the American College of Radiology. Whether it affects your education, work environment or future as practicing physicians, the NYSRS-RFS ensures your voice will be heard by the institutions, regulators and elected officials who impact our careers.
It is free to join and easy to become involved! Please email one of the officers listed below if you are interested in becoming involved. Also, follow our Twitter page linked on the right!
