Overview
The Society of Thoracic Radiology has created an Educational Scholar program whereby an STR member is awarded a grant to conduct work in the realm of member education. This work should align with the strategic goals of the STR’s education mission. Each year, the STR Executive Council will attempt to identify potential educational needs and/or opportunities for our membership. If such a target is identified, a scholar application and selection process will be initiated.
Outline
HOST COMMITTEE: The scholar will belong to the STR Standing Committee that most aligns with the identified focus area or project.
LEAD/ORGANIZER: The scholar will be assigned some organizational role within the committee (project lead, etc.).
DO WORK: The scholar will be assigned a substantial body of work from the committee related to the overall focus area.
SELECT A PUBLISHABLE PROJECT: The scholar will be expected to complete a project related to the committee’s work/focus area and will work with a mentor to assist in preparation of a manuscript designed for publication.
