The American College of Radiology (ACR) announced this week that Pablo R. Ros, MD, PhD, the ACR Education Center’s new physician-in-chief, will come into the role with a focus on modality training and expanding the program. Ros, a diagnostic radiologist, is also now a member of the ACR Commission on Education.

“The ACR Education Center will continue to offer an unparalleled case-based training experience—giving radiologists hands-on instruction in an intense simulation environment from world-class faculty in various subspecialties,” Ros said in a statement. “The Education Center’s program will be enhanced to provide critical training for those who wish to cover new modalities, sharpen existing skills or expand expertise.”

Ross is a Theodore J. Castele University Professor and radiology chair at the University Hospitals Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University.

He also has experience as a visiting professor in abdominal imaging for the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and faculty member for the Radiology Leadership Institute.

William T. Thorwarth Jr., MD, ACR CEO, said in the statement that he believes the ACR Education Center will be in good hands.

“Dr. Ros brings a new strategic direction to one of the most technologically advanced training facilities in the world,” Thorwarth said. “To have a physician-in-chief of his caliber lead our medical education program at the ACR Education Center will immensely benefit radiologists looking to strengthen practices and become better providers in a value-based, collaborative health care environment.”
