Abstract

The Radiology Research Alliance (RRA) of the Association of Academic Radiology (AAR) convenes task forces to study trends that will shape the future of radiology. This article presents the findings of the AAR-RRA task force on balancing high clinical volumes and non-RVU-generating activities, which set out to analyze and underscore the full value of academic radiologists’ contributions beyond RVU-generating clinical work. The Task Force's efforts are detailed in a two-part report. This first part describes the current landscape, while the second part focuses on future directions for academic radiology departments aiming to achieve a more optimal balance between high clinical volumes and non-RVU-generating activities.
