ACR accepting applications for Hillman fellowship in scholarly publishing

The American College of Radiology (ACR) announced this week it is now accepting applications for the Bruce J. Hillman Fellowship in scholarly publishing. Staff radiologists, residents and fellows are all invited to apply.

The Bruce J. Hillman Fellowship includes two weeks of “hands-on professional experience in medical editing, journalism and publishing for the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR).” The chosen applicant works directly with JACR staff and gets to work with the journal’s publisher in New York City.

“The appeal of this fellowship is that it’s not a passive experience,” Julianna Czum, MD, director of cardiac imaging at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire, said in a prepared statement. Czum was a Hillman Fellow in 2015. “It’s immersive and expansive because there is an expectation of output, of contributing to the JACR in an integral way.”

More information is available on the ACR’s website.
