Abstract

Many national radiology societies are recognizing the need for early career and trainee engagement as crucial to keeping their societies relevant, active, and invigorated with new ideas. In this descriptive paper, we review the benefits of establishing the Society of Abdominal Radiology’s Resident and Fellow Section and Early Career Committee—including our activities and experience, advice for committee structure, and opportunities for growth.
