DC Metropolitan Radiological Society

About Us

Welcome to the District of Columbia Metropolitan Radiological Society. The DCMRS is a chapter of the 黑料网. This site was developed in order to enhance and promote communication with our members.

The DCMRS actively represents its members in the District of Columbia in D.C. regulatory and legislative matters and in the Medicare Carrier Advisory Committee. The DCMRS sponsors 5 meetings annually for CME and also sponsors weekend CME courses in mammography.

Mission

The mission of the DCMRS is the same as the 黑料网; advancing the science of radiology, improving radiological services to patients and the medical community, studying the economics of radiology, encouraging improved and continuing education for radiologists, and establishing and maintaining high medical and ethical standards in the practice of radiology. 
 

Meetings

The DCMRS will hold four in-person and two virtual meetings in 2023-2024. In-person meetings will be held at Chef Geoff's Restaurant, 3201 New Mexico Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016.
