Welcome

President’s Letter to CRS Members

It is with great enthusiasm that I take on the role of President of CRS 2007-2008. I have been involved with CRS for over 10 years. Over this time I have come to realize how lucky we as radiologists in the Chicago area are to have such an important organization. We are one of the most successful local radiology chapters in the United States.

With that in mind, we can only continue this success by participation from local radiologists like yourselves. We have not become complacent and we have worked hard on ways to increase attendance and participation. Last year we began issuing CME credits for attending the breakout sessions and Featured Speaker Presentations. With pressure for maintenance of credentials this is beneficial to us all and is located right downtown for your convenience. We hope more radiologists will take advantage of this opportunity. In addition, we will continue the resident board review following each meeting. The feedback has been very positive and is a great opportunity to attend a review given by local radiologists from major academic institutions, many of which who have been board examiners at one time.

As Program Director for the last two years I have tried to keep the content as varied and as pertinent as possible to all subspecialties. We have had prominent speakers come from distinguished institutions that spoke on relevant topics. This year, with the help of Dr. Ed Michals, our new Program Director, we have confirmed three excellent speakers, Jill Jacobs from NYU, Richard Cohan from the University of Michigan and Lynn Broderick from University of Wisconsin. CRS not only offers informative lectures but the chance to network and socialize with other local radiologists, residents and attendings alike. The meetings will again be held at Rush University’s Searle Conference Center. Individual ($50) and season ticket ($200) prices will remain unchanged. If you wish to purchase a season ticket, please contact Dr. John Hibbeln, our Secretary-Treasurer, using this printable form.

I hope all of you are going to take advantage of this tremendous organization and make 2007-2008 an even more successful year.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you this fall.

Jay Korach, M.D.

President, Chicago Radiological Society
