Public Relations
The Academy of Radiology Research Public Relations Task Force works to educate the public about issues regarding medical imaging. One of the key ways that the Academy works to do this is through providing patient advocacy groups with medical imaging experts.
If you are a Radiologist or Imaging Scientist, become a CIBR Medical Imaging Expert and educate patients and the public about imaging issues!
CIBR is a permanent partnership of academic research departments, scientific societies, patient advocacy organizations, and imaging equipment manufacturers that lead the education and advocacy efforts for imaging research.
What are the responsibilities of a CIBR Medical Imaging Expert?
A CIBR Medical Imaging Expert is matched with one or more Patient Advocacy Groups to:
- • Connect with the CIBR Patient Advocacy Group(s) on a consistent basis
- • Become familiar with their advocacy programs, particularly those that might involve imaging
- • Offer to assist personally or to find others who will make speaking appearances, write ‘whitepapers’ and visit legislators
- • Discuss any collaboration efforts with CIBR
- • Communicate at minimum annually with your group
