ACR Teams with Harvard Business School

David Rosenfeld | | Radiology Business | Business Intelligence
The American College of Radiology announced a partnership with Harvard Business Publishing to help develop a program as part of the ACR’s new Radiology Leadership Institute. The institute is expected to begin later this year offering a masters degree in the business of radiology. Harvard Business Publishing will develop an on-line course where students can earn RLI credit, according to a press release. The curriculum will include weekly sessions with professors from Harvard Business School and other leading institutions. Because many of the students are expected to already be working in the field, classes are expected to apply directly to a real work environment.
