Her work leaves an indelible mark on the Canadian radiology community and has been duly rewarded by the University of Toronto (U of T). The CAR is pleased to congratulate Dr. Tanya Chawla on her promotion to Associate Professor at the U of T Department of Medical Imaging.
“I am delighted to be promoted to the rank of Associate Professor,” said Dr. Chawla. “It is a meaningful recognition of my contributions to the University and in particular of the clinical, education, and research projects where I have collaborated with my clinical colleagues to make a difference to patient care and management.”
Dr. Chawla holds many titles with different organizations. She is the President of the Canadian Society of Abdominal Radiology (CSAR), a CAR Affiliate Society, and is Chair of the Annual Scientific Meeting Scientific Planning Committee, responsible for orchestrating the scientific content of the CAR’s flagship annual event.
She is excited to continue moving forward in her academic career.
“I am a firm believer in making the most of a moment and this promotion fulfills my natural desire to pursue the next rung on the academic ladder.”
While she is enthusiastic about continuing her work, Dr. Chawla says she will take some time to focus her efforts elsewhere for the time being.
“Applying for promotion is a time intensive process and I am looking forward to focusing on some research interests that are close to my heart. I also hope for some more quality time with my family.”
Ultimately, Dr. Chawla says the new title does not change the foundational drive that fuels her work.
“I am always motivated by the desire to contribute in any way I can to our radiological community rather than solely pursuing my own career and academic goals.”
Congratulations to Dr. Chawla on this great career accomplishment!
