Fellowship of the CAR Award

What is the Fellowship of the CAR (FCAR)?

The Fellowship of the Canadian Association of Radiologists (FCAR) is one of the highest honors that the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) can bestow upon its members. This award was created by the FCAR Working Group in 2018 out of a need to recognize the lifelong commitment, by and for CAR members, to a standard of excellence in the profession of radiology.

Recognition as a Fellow of the CAR demonstrates a history of service to the CAR as a volunteer in collaboration and leadership, as well as clinical, scientific and professional accomplishments.

This award is also a guide to inspire early to mid-career members towards a pathway to excellence and professional success in radiology. This award is modelled on other Fellowship programs and reflects the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada’s CanMEDS framework.

Benefits & Recognition

As an active Fellow of the CAR, recipients join a very distinct and selective group of radiologists who have distinguished themselves in the field. In recognition of this accomplishment, after the Fellowship honor is granted, the recipient is permitted to place “FCAR” after their name. Including the initials “FCAR” among one’s credentials underscores the individual meeting the high standards designated by our national specialist organization.

Recipients will have the “FCAR” designation bestowed upon them during the CAR's Awards ceremony at the CAR's Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM). They will be presented with a special lapel pin and a tie or scarf depicting the “FCAR” symbol. They will also be recognized on the CAR's website.

In accordance with the CAR's policy, a candidate may not receive the Fellow of the CAR designation without attending the convocation ceremony. In the event a candidate is unable to attend the convocation ceremony, the fellowship may be deferred until the following year.

The Fellow of the CAR recipient must be a current member of the CAR in order to keep their Fellow of the CAR designation.
