This is a big step forward for access to care for our patients. Thanks to the American College of Radiology staff and radiologist volunteers who have worked so hard and for so long to reach this milestone.

Last time I worked in my colleague’s bland office, I gave him polite feedback. “I felt like I was on a psych hold.” 😂 This time I now see a Nespresso, two family photos, and a candle. Polite feedback works 😁

You should ask, who is taking care of you when you go to the hospital and see someone in a white coat or see a primary care provider (most physicians will not call themselves providers) Imagine 96% acceptance rate for medical school. It’s usually closer to the opposite 4%.

Since 2018, we've sounded the alarm about the risks of replacing physicians with nonphysician practitioners. We are gratified that respected journalists at Bloomberg have started an investigation into the safety of nurse practitioner-led care. Read more: buff.ly/4dl2EcW

I have long said that the low hanging fruit of AI utilization in radiology is not image interpretation, but radiologist workflow, reporting, and downstream management tools

Two years ago my son had a series of surgeries for a congenital limb issue. The wheelchair was the best way to get him around then. And today that kid rode a bike for the first time.

Today I'm launching a small, simple site dedicated to helping radiologists find true private practices (and helping those practices find radiologists). It's a crazy job market out there. It's called Independent Radiology, and I hope it's helpful: independentradiology.com

In related news, Independent Radiology has 50 private practices listed that are currently hiring and more coming this week. I think this would also be a great place to begin a job search. independentradiology.com
