Committee on Women and General Diversity
WSRS is the first state chapter of the ACR to launch its own committee to promote diversity and support the advancement of diverse individuals in radiology and associated specialties. The committee sponsors periodic programs such as a “mentoring event,” held in Spring 2018, for female trainees and early career professionals. The event was co-sponsored by the UW’s Women in Radiology group and held at the University of Washington Waterfront Activities Center.
Mentoring event attendees enjoyed connecting and sharing experiences. |
