The 52nd Annual Meeting of the Association ofsity of Radiologists (AUR) was held in San FraCalifornia, on April 21-24, 2004 and attended b900 registrants. The meeting was held in conjunthe Society of Chairman of Academic Radiologyments (SCARD), the Association of Program DiRadiology (APDR), the American Alliance of AChief Residents in Radiology (A3CR2), the AlliaMedical Student Educators in Radiology (AMSERadiology Research Alliance (RRA), the Radiolance for Health Services Research (RAHSR), thation of University Radiologists-Europe (AUR-EAssociation of Program Coordinators in Radiolo(APCR).

The meeting program covered the full specthe interests of academic radiologists, from teresearch to patient care and administration. Thing’s offerings included scientific sessions, plesions, society-specific sessions, the Kodak Intto Management Program, the RSNA IntroductGrantsmanship Program, the Phillips-AUR AcFaculty Development Program, the GE-AUR RResearch Academic Fellowship (GERRAF) SeAwards Ceremony, the Kay Vydareny Film Intion Competition, and several enjoyable sociations.
