Only 6.5 percent of practicing radiologists are underrepresented minorities (URMs) in medicine despite accounting for nearly 35 percent of the U.S. population. Of the 20 largest Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) training programs, radiology ranks 18th among trainees classified as underrepresented minorities.

The ABR has attended major radiology society annual meetings since 2007. In that time, we’ve participated in more than 90 annual meetings and handled more than 7,000 candidate and diplomate inquiries.
