Honored Educator Award

We're dedicated to recognizing RSNA members who've produced an array of radiologic resources in the last 12 months. Every year, the Honored Educator Award acknowledges those most invested in furthering radiologic education through the creation of high-quality educational content in their field of study.

Eligibility

To qualify for the Honored Educator Award, you must be an RSNA member and participate in a number of qualifying educational activities, including the following:

  • Authoring educational articles, or providing invited commentary, best cases, or guest editing in RSNA premier journals, Radiology, RadioGraphics or other subspecialty journals
  • Authoring online education including CME test questions
  • Serving as an intensive mentor at a workshop outside the RSNA annual meeting
  • Authoring an online professionalism vignette
  • Serving as a faculty member at a live RSNA Course outside of the annual meeting
  • Serving as a visiting professor in RSNA's International Visiting Professor Program
  • Participating in the Global Learning Centers Program
  • Delivering an invited lecture at one or more in-person educational meetings or workshops sponsored at the RSNA annual meeting or offering an RSNA branded course at another organization's meeting
  • Authoring an education exhibit or Quality Storyboard
  • Coordinating a Case of the Day subspecialty track for the RSNA annual meeting

Candidates must contribute in an RSNA educational activity to be considered for the award. Based on the number of qualifying activities completed, only the most active RSNA members are honored for their contributions. Effective with the 2019 award cycle, individuals who receive the Honored Educator Award three times are ineligible for future consideration.

Lifetime Honored Educator Award

The Lifetime Honored Educator Award will be granted to honorees who receive the Honored Educator Award three times during their tenure with RSNA. RSNA will be granting this award to past attendees that were eligible as well.

Eligibility

Qualifying educational activities for the Lifetime Honored Educator Award include the following:

  • Radiology
  • Radiology: Imaging Cancer
  • Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging
  • Radiology: Artificial Intelligence
  • RadioGraphics
  • RSNA Case Collection
  • Educational content presented outside of the RSNA annual meeting and educational content presented at the RSNA annual meeting

Points can be earned in any category and only RSNA members in good standing are eligible.

Effective with the 2021 award cycle, individuals who receive the Honored Educator Award three times are eligible for the Lifetime Honored Educator Award and will no longer receive the annual Honored Educator Award.
