Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A profession demands unconditional acceptance of the inalienable responsibilities to those it serves. Such obligations to patients, colleagues, and society infuse the specialty of radiology with meaning that elevates it to a profession and distinguishes radiologists' efforts from a simple occupation. The recognition and fulfillment of these duties are also how the ACR differentiates itself from an ordinary trade association. Professional insight provides a platform for analysis of and response to the issues confronting our specialty from the perspective of our founding principles and ethics. Judged by its history and recent leadership, the ACR has served and continues to serve this critical function by providing commitment, direction, and voice for our profession's core values. |
