The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Editorial Fellowship significantly boosts academic radiology careers. Most fellows become leaders in academic radiology, serving as editors and department chairs.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Medical Journalism
- Academic Medicine
Background:
- The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Editorial Fellowship, established in 1998, trains radiologists in radiologic journalism.
- Renamed fellowships honor founding and emeritus editors, focusing on attending physicians and trainees.
- This study surveyed former fellows to assess the fellowship's impact on academic careers.
Discussion:
- The RSNA Editorial Fellowship provides crucial skills for radiologic journalism and academic development.
- Fellowship experience is vital for professional growth in academic radiology.
- Alumni actively contribute to major radiology journals and departmental leadership.
Key Insights:
- 94% of surveyed fellows remain in academic radiology, holding leadership positions.
- All respondents actively serve in editorial roles (editor, reviewer, editorial board member) for radiology and clinical journals.
- Four former fellows are department chairs and six are vice-chairs.
Outlook:
- The fellowship continues to shape future leaders in academic radiology and medical publishing.
- Sustained engagement in editorial roles highlights the program's long-term value.
- Future research could explore specific skill development and long-term career trajectories.

RNA Interference
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

RNA Structure
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
