Five physicians received awards for exemplary professional activities in 2011: Dr. James Tallman of Marietta, Georgia for raising the bar in Communications; Dr. Sumit Seth of Columbus, Ohio for raising the bar in Education; Dr. Thomas Applewhite of Creve Coeur, Missouri for exemplary use of influence; Dr. Jeffrey Thomasson of Creve Coeur, Missouri for exceptional leadership and Dr. Michael Peters of Seattle, Washington for raising the bar in the area of outreach.
The celebration was hosted by Dr. Lori Barr, a pediatric radiologist from Austin, Texas. Barr says, "Radiologists recognize subtle injury and illness manifestations in patients and stay busy serving the medical community. They rarely get together just to celebrate the ways their actions positively influence the health care arena and the future of radiology." Barr started the program to fill this gap and to encourage the next generation of radiologists.
The annual celebration precedes the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, also held in Chicago. The Radiological Society of North America held its annual meeting at the Palmer House for 14 years between 1933 and 1974.
Next year's celebration, the 2012 Toast the Best Radiologists Event will be held Saturday, November 24, 2012 in Chicago. Individuals may nominate radiologists for recognition at http://www.thebestradiologist.com.
