Connecticut Radiological Society President's Newsletter It has been many months since my last newsletter and I admit that I, like most of you, have been busy. Good help is hard to find. One has only to look in the pages and pages of classifieds in the AJR to realize the scope of the manpower issue, and those are only the published ads. Theories abound on whether this is a good or bad omen for radiology.
Volumes are up, income steady, growth continues yet volunteerism is clearly down.
At our state level we are fortunate to have had two new additions to our executive committee. Two busy volunteers who are willing to give of their time to all our futures in an attempt to Keep things Good. They bring a renewed level of enthusiasm to the team. Our legislative agenda continues to be one of surveillance, making sure that radiology is not damaged by bills introduced or amendments made. Our government relations specialists keep us apprised of upcoming legislative initiatives as well as regulatory changes that will effect radiology.
