ARRS Global Partner Society Program
The mission of ARRS’ Global Partner Society Program is to build long-standing relationships with key leaders and organizations in the worldwide imaging community—increasing awareness of our society’s services in specific nations, while raising the stature of Global Partner Societies among ARRS members. Every year, the ARRS Annual Meeting Global Exchange incorporates one partner society into the educational and social fabric of our meeting. ARRS members then reciprocate at the partner society’s meeting that same year.
Korean Society of Radiology
The GPS partner to be featured at the 2023 ARRS Annual Meeting on the stunning island of Oahu in Honolulu, HI, will be our longtime colleagues from the Korean Society of Radiology (KSR). Established in 1945, KSR remains the official society representing all physicians of Korea working in the field of radiology. With a membership of more than 3,000 practicing imaging professionals, KSR also publishes two scholarly journals: the Korean Journal of Radiology and Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology. The 2023 ARRS Global Exchange Featuring KSR, “Changing Paradigms in Tumor Response Assessment,” will be the latest in a very long succession of successful educational partnerships between the Americans and South Koreans.
