CARJ Standing Committee

CARJ Standing Committee

Standing committees are a permanent part of CAR's organization structure and are established for an indefinite period; they have a continued existence and are formed to do their assigned work on an ongoing basis. They are comprised of CAR members representing the different radiology subspecialties and the diverse areas of practice across the radiology community. They are responsible for performing functions that are essential to the operation of the organization. 

The CARJ Standing Committee supports the development of the Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal (CARJ) as it relates to the impact factor, submission rate, financial performance, publisher performance, circulation and Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) membership engagement. It was created in July 2016 and supports the journal in reaching its full potential as a scientific publication while contributing to its development as a valuable facet of the CAR’s overarching communications and membership engagement platforms.

Mentorship

Mentorship

CARJ Reviewer Mentorship Program

Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal (CARJ) Editorial Board and Standing Committee Members will mentor radiology residents currently training in a Canadian residency program. Each mentor will help a resident mentee to draft four reviews of original research manuscripts per year in the mentor's area of subspecialty expertise. Both mentor and mentee will receive a credit for the review.

The two major tenets of peer review are to evaluate the quality of the study design (e.g., are there significant sources of bias), and the completeness of reporting (e.g., has all data been presented to allow readers to determine bias and generalizability).

Who can apply
  • Candidates must be enrolled in a Canadian residency program
  • Candidates must be PGY-3 or PGY-4 at the time of application
  • Application Deadline: September 15, 2024
  • Term: October 1, 2024 - September 30, 2025
  • Mentorships are available in: abdominal imaging, neuroradiology, pediatric radiology, interventional radiology, breast imaging, and MSK imaging.

To apply, please submit a 1-page Letter of Intent and CV with a list of professional social media accounts to [email protected] with the subject line “CARJ Reviewer Mentorship Program”.
