New! Diagnostic Radiology Initial Qualifying and Certifying Exams Update
Each year at its annual meeting, the Association of Program Directors in Radiology (APDR) invites ABR leaders to give an update on the activities of the American Board of Radiology. This session facilitates information exchange, as well as feedback to the ABR on its policies and their impact on training. During the April 2008 session, the ABR provided information about the future Core and Certifying Examinations in diagnostic radiology. The discussion session, which featured many thoughtful questions posed by attendees, provided ample opportunity for the active exchange of information.
The ABR trustees have addressed many of the questions raised. Below are responses to some of the most frequently asked questions. Answers to other questions will be posted as further detail is developed by the board.
The ABR welcomes societies to post on their own websites the links to these FAQs and to the accompanying Powerpoint presentations.
