State Legislative Update
ACRA Invites State Radiological Societies to apply for a Scope of Practice (SOP) Grant.
In 2021, the American College of Radiology Association® (ACRA®) established the
Scope of Practice (SOP) Fund to safeguard patients and patient access to radiologist expertise by fighting state and federal non-physician scope expansion legislation. Any state radiological chapter is eligible and encouraged to apply.
The ACR has updated its SOP micro-website, which features a wide variety of resources for state chapters, including:
-
State SOP legislation tracked by the ACR
-
Educational requirements of a radiologist and the value of physician-led care
-
ACR communications and sign-on letters
If you have questions about SOP legislation or applying for an ACRA SOP Grant, contact
Eugenia Brandt, ACR Senior Government Affairs Director, or
Dillon Harp, ACR Senior State Government Relations Specialist.
