International Fellowship 

Overview 

The RSNA Journals International Editorial Fellowship is a virtual fellowship for early or mid-career radiologists currently residing in a non-North American country who are interested in learning more about scholarly publishing in radiology but may not be able to fulfill the travel commitment for the Eyler and Olmsted fellowships.

As an international fellow, you'll learn about manuscript preparation and editing, peer review, journal production and digital publishing. At the end of the fellowship, you'll complete a program evaluation and prepare a follow-up report on your experiences during and after the fellowship.
