CMR Practice Advisory Group

Are you an early career physician or have questions about setting up a CMR practice? SCMR has developed an exciting new member benefit by forming the first CMR Practice Advisory Group. Experienced CMR volunteers will provide advice, assistance, and mentoring for physicians starting and developing Cardiovascular MRI programs. Physicians interested in receiving CMR program advice are encouraged to complete an online questionnaire  detailing the issues, questions, and location of your CMR program.
