​​​​ACRA Places Advocacy Tools at Your Fingertips ​

November 3,​ 2023


The American College of Radiology Association® (ACRA®) Radiology Advocacy Network (RAN) provides American College of Radiology® (ACR®) members with tools and resources to help advocate at the state and federal levels. We remind all ACR chapters that the RAN exists to provide a myriad of resources and opportunities for involvement and support.

For members, tools and resources include:

  • Pre-Radiology RAN — medical students.
  • RFS RAN — residents and fellows.
  • YPS RAN — members within their first 8 years of practice or below age 40.

We also have tools and resources specifically available for state chapters, including:

  • Calls to Action (CTA) — legislative alerts for both state and federal advocacy.
    • If your state needs to garner support for a state issue or piece of legislation, we can support your efforts by creating a CTA that will go to your chapter members.

If you are interested in getting involved through the RAN or in advocacy, contact Melody Ballesteros, American College of Radiology® Assistant Director of Government Relations. ​
