Lee F. Rogers International Fellowship in Radiology Journalism
Funded by The Roentgen Fund®

The ARRS offers one-month annual fellowships in radiology journalism. Radiologists practicing abroad are eligible for the Rogers Fellowship. Rogers Fellowships are announced in July of every other year.

Purpose
1. To stimulate bright, promising radiologists to continue with an academic career, enhance their credentials, and stimulate interest in good radiology journalism.

2. To improve the quality of radiology journals by teaching the fundamentals of medical journalism, train manuscript reviewers and future editors, and provide core teachers of medical journalism in radiology departments around the country.

Curriculum
Through hands-on experience, the fellows will be taught the fundamentals of medical writing, manuscript preparation, peer review, manuscript editing, the ethics of scientific journalism, and journal publication and printing in personal tutorials given by the AJR editors and by the editorial and production staff.

Stipend
The successful candidate will be awarded a maximum of $12,000 to cover travel and other costs of the fellowship. The funding will be awarded at the end of the fellowship after the fellow has turned in expense reports and receipts.

Applications
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae and a letter describing the candidate's goals during the fellowship. Letters of recommendation from his or her department chair and one other senior person are required. Applications for the Rogers Fellowship should be sent electronically to lmishler@acr-arrs.org.
