American Association for Women in Radiology
The American Association for Women in Radiology is a professional association founded in 1981 as a resource for "professional socialization" for women in a male-dominated field of radiology.
AAWR's role model is Marie Curie.
The main goals of the association were to provide a forum for issues unique to women in radiology, radiation oncology and related professions, to sponsor programs that promote opportunities for women, and to facilitate networking among women radiologists.
