Abstract
The Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) has grown rapidly in the last decade and with growth comes opportunity. The purpose of this article is to highlight the many potential ways in which early career radiologists (those within the first 7 years of their career) can become involved with the SAR, both at the annual meeting and throughout the year. At the annual meeting, there are opportunities for presentation of scientific sessions as well as submission of clinically oriented workshops. Workshops are a great way to develop presentation skills and highlight subspecialty clinical expertise. Disease focus panels (DFPs) and Emerging Technology Committees (ETCs) meet at the annual meeting but continue their work throughout the year, targeting improvements in clinical care and research. Finally, a variety of volunteer staffed committees are essential to the fulfillment of the mission of the SAR, and several of these are targeted at involving early career members, providing opportunities for leadership and exposure to other members of the society.
