Congratulations to our own, Dept. Chair, Erik K. Paulson, M.D., FACR, Robert J. Reeves Distinguished Professor of Radiology, named 123rd President of the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS). Dr. Paulson was installed as President during the opening ceremony of the 2023 ARRS Annual Meeting in Honolulu, HI.
Dr. Paulson succeeds Gary J. Whitman, who served as President from 2022 to 2023.
Accolades and recognition of Dr. Paulson's career worldwide include the following excerpt from Applied Radiology:
"A longtime and active ARRS member, presently, Dr. Paulson chairs the Gold Medal Nominating Committee and sits on both ARRS’ Executive Council and board of trustees for The Roentgen Fund. Contributing to four high-profile ARRS committees—Education, Finance and Budget, Professional and Practice Improvement, Science and Innovation—he also serves on the society’s Resident Advisory Subcommittee and remains the ARRS representative for the Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research."
“I am absolutely honored and delighted to serve as the President of our country’s oldest radiology society, a society whose sweet spot is member education,” Dr. Paulson said in his ARRS Annual Meeting opening remarks at the Hawaii Convention Center on the island of Oahu.
“It takes a team, though,” Dr Paulson stated. He is joined by newly elected ARRS officers for 2023–2024: Angelisa M. Paladin, President-Elect; Deborah A. Baumgarten, Vice President; and Christine M. Glastonbury, Secretary-Treasurer.
“ARRS has an exciting program planned for this year, with over 135 sessions, and more than 220 hours of available CME credit,” “Our faculty are uniformly outstanding, hailing from great institutions throughout the United States and, indeed, the world.”
