2009 Marks the ABR's 75th Anniversary

The American Board of Radiology is observing its 75th anniversary this year. In the fall of 2008 the Board of Trustees decided to produce a video in honor of the ABR's anniversary.

The video is also designed to help educate ABR diplomates, trainees, and the general public about the value and importance of board certification and maintenance of certification. It is being distributed to several radiology-related societies, including seven of our eight sponsoring societies, to be shown at their annual meetings throughout 2009.
