Examples of some of the topics covered at the meeting include “Radiology Groups Can Thrive in Larger Systems: Tactics for Success” and “Radiology: Taking a Central Role in Population Health.” There will also be interactive group sessions, where attendees get the opportunity to work with both fellow practice leaders and various experts.
