SIIM is offering resident scholarships to cover the costs of travel and lodging so that radiology residents who are interested in Radiology Informatics can attend the SIIM meeting in Seattle, May 15-18, 2008.

To apply for the scholarship, write a short essay (500-750 words) on the following topic:

Imaging Informatics in Radiology Education

Although informatics has many applications of interest to community and academic attending physicians, there are also applications that are particular to residents in the teaching environment. What is the impact of new technology and infrastructure on radiology education? Applicants should consider both positive and negative impacts, and how informatics may transform the way we teach radiology.

Essays will be judged for creativity, insight, and understanding of informatics topics. The winning essays will be published in the Journal of Digital Imaging or SIIM News. The deadline for submission is February 15, 2008.


Highlights from the SCAR 2006 Residents Scholarships submissions can be found on the SIIM website resident community page. The 2 winning essays from 2006 were published in the Journal of Digital Imaging Vol. 19:2 (June 2006).
