Medical Professional Education & Training 3 activities
- Hosts annual and monthly educational lectures in breast imagingOrganizes five annual and additional monthly expert-led lectures covering advances and practical approaches in breast imaging, including technologies such as MRI, tomosynthesis, and contrast-enhanced mammography, as well as topics like screening controversies, breast cancer staging, and regulatory compliance. These include both in-person and virtual meetings held throughout the academic year.
- Provides continuing education credits for radiologists and technologistsOffers CME and ASRT-approved continuing education credits to physicians and radiologic technologists who attend NYBIS lectures, with certificates available online through MSKCC for paid members.
- Supports professional development and networking for traineesFacilitates networking among breast imaging trainees and specialists through lectures, discussions, mentor panels, and leadership opportunities such as the resident liaison role. Includes dedicated events like an annual October meeting with mentor panels to promote trainee inclusion.
