Abstract

1. To encourage the members, officers, and counsellors of the Radiological Society of North America to present educational material before lay audiences and to the general medical profession. Also to present editorials in our own journal Radiology and especially in other medical journals going out to the general medical profession. These talks, editorials, or papers should tend to bring out the thought that the practice of radiology is a specialty and that the radiologist is a physician and a medical specialist. 2. To encourage presentation of editorials in Radiology which point out that radiological practice is a medical specialty and that the radiologist should make every effort to qualify as a specialist in radiological work. 3. To disseminate propaganda tending to educate the public to the fact that the average physician or surgeon cannot do as good radiological work as the specialist in radiology. 4. To carry on investigation by correspondence of reported cures for malignancy and the results of research and experimental work being done in malignancy, results of this investigation to be given to the membership of the Society through Radiology. 5. To encourage the membership to send in to the Committee material of an educational nature tending to help radiology. The Educational Committee will see that this material is published through the various periodicals of the country, both lay and medical. 6. To endeavor to secure the co-operation of the American Medical Association, the College of Physicians, and the College of Surgeons in a campaign tending to put before the general profession that the radiologist is also a physician. As he is a duly qualified medical man and also a specialist in radiology the profession should expect radiological work of the highest quality. 7. To continue our educational work through the lay press and the periodicals of the country which was started last year. This educational work should also tend to show that the radiologist is a qualified medical man.
