Jan. 21, 2026 — The American College of Radiology (ACR), through the ACR Institute for Radiologic Pathology (AIRP), has introduced a comprehensive suite of educational experiences to help radiology residents, fellows and practicing radiologists prepare for the return of the American Board of Radiology (ABR) Oral Board Examination in 2028.
“These interactive resources provide a systematic approach designed to help learners obtain, organize and retain the information they need to approach the ABR Oral Boards with confidence and perform to the best of their ability,” said Ana P. Lourenco, MD, FACR, chair of the AIRP Advisory Committee.
This three-phase ACR initiative includes case review and presentation skills, test stress reduction techniques and intensive simulation experience found nowhere else:
- Phase 1: Online Video Series (available now) Led by Dr. Petra Lewis, this open-access series builds essential case presentation skills, and offers strategies for managing exam pressure and anxiety, describing pertinent positives and negatives, and making a case for the favored diagnosis
- Phase 2: AIRP Advanced Rad-Path Case Review Course (Starting Sept. 2026) A 5-day, hands-on course for R4 residents and fellows, featuring subspecialty imaging reviews and interactive learning via the RadPix platform. Offered in Silver Spring, MD
- Phase 3: Hot-Seat Oral Board Review Course (Launching Winter/Spring 2028) A 2-day immersive simulation of the oral board experience, with real-time case presentations, expert feedback and small cohort rotations through seven radiology subspecialties. Available in-person and virtually.
“ACR has created a one-stop shopping experience to help attendees meet this returning ABR requirement with confidence, position themselves to excel on the exam and ultimately provide better patient care,” said Priscilla Jennings Slanetz, MD, MPH, FACR, chair of the ACR Commission on Publications and Lifelong Learning.
