Professionalism and quality care
Our courses in professionalism, ethics and patient care are essential for radiologists in all practice settings. Professionalism and ethics are the core operating principles of the medical profession. Professionalism in medicine means:
- Placing the interests of patients above your own
- Setting and maintaining standards of competency and integrity
- Providing society with expert advice on health-related matters
Show commitment to these values and improve the quality of patient care through RSNA's interactive, self-paced courses. Each course offers a personalized learning experience that was developed by a team of experts and peer reviewed for content, quality and clarity. All courses are free to members and SA-CME credit is available.

Professionalism self-assessments
Developed by the RSNA Professionalism Committee, self-assessments cover a wide range of topics that radiologists may encounter in their practice. The scenarios are intended to strengthen your understanding of the need for radiologists to maintain professionalism in their routine practice and to facilitate discussion of this core competency.
