Registration now open for 2018 RLI Summit

Registration is officially open for the seventh annual Radiology Leadership Institute (RLI) Summit Sept. 7-9 at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, the American College of Radiology (ACR) announced this week.

“The RLI Summit is the only leadership program for radiologists that brings together experts in both radiology and business education to provide a comprehensive approach to improving your practices and departments today to better prepare for the future,” Summit co-chair Alexander M. Norbash, MD, MS, said in a prepared statement. “No one is certain what the future of radiology will bring, but what we are certain of is that we can develop social, emotional, and lateral leadership – leading by exercising informal authority—and critical thinking competencies that will help us advance the value of radiology for years to come.”

The RLI Summit will feature guest speakers, team role-playing competitions that help participants learn negotiation tactics and other leadership skills and more. More information is available on the RLI’s website.
