UC Radiologists Among 2013’s Top Docs
Cincinnati Magazine announced its annual Top Doctors in its
January issue, and once again a number of UC radiologists made
the list. The magazine asked over 5,000 local physicians who they
would recommend (other than themselves) if “you, a family member, or a
friend needed medical attention.”
Physicians receiving five or more
recommendations made the magazine’s
published list. Under Radiology, these
included K. Ann Choe, MD; Rebecca
Cornelius, MD; Ralph Shipley, MD; and
Sadhna Verma, MD. Ross Ristagno, MD,
and Doan Vu, MD, were listed under
Interventional Radiology. Jonathan
Moulton, MD, and Thomas Tomsick, MD,
were listed for both Radiology and IR.
Cincy Magazine published its 2013 Best
Doctors List in December. Cincy’s list is
based on a survey by Best Doctors in America, which asks doctors
who they would name “if you or a loved one needed a doctor in
your specialty.” In Radiology, the list included Marilyn J. Goske,
MD; Mary Mahoney, MD; Rebecca Cornelius, MD; Robert R. Lukin,
MD; and Thomas Tomsick, MD. Under Pediatric Radiology, Cincy
listed William S. Ball, MD; Alan Brody, MD; Brian Coley, MD; and
Tal Laor, MD. In Nuclear Medicine, Michael Gelfand, MD, and
Edward Silberstein, MD, made the list.

together with the Sociedad Mexicana de Radiologia e Imagen coorganized a first of its kind, one day, Radiology Educational
Symposium in Mexico City, January 29, 2013, dedicated to the
training of advanced educational skills to academic radiologists.
Dr. Jannette Collins, an ACER Past President, gave two talks as
part of the symposium. Registrants included over 40 academic
radiologists involved in postgraduate radiology education programs across Mexico. The symposium focused on promoting lifelong learning, appreciating adult learning theories, improving
presentation skills, and effectively using new educational electronic

Dr. Collins Participates in Mexico City ACER Event
The Alliance for Clinician Educators in Radiology (ACER)
together with the Sociedad Mexicana de Radiologia e Imagen coorganized a first of its kind, one day, Radiology Educational
Symposium in Mexico City, January 29, 2013, dedicated to the
training of advanced educational skills to academic radiologists.
Dr. Jannette Collins, an ACER Past President, gave two talks as
part of the symposium. Registrants included over 40 academic
radiologists involved in postgraduate radiology education programs across Mexico. The symposium focused on promoting lifelong learning, appreciating adult learning theories, improving
presentation skills, and effectively using new educational electronic
tools, through both didactic sessions and hands-on workshops.
Diane Babcock Travel Award Supports RSNA Attendance
The Diane Babcock Travel Award was established to support a
radiology resident’s attendance at a national meeting. The first
recipient was Chief Resident Nate Von
Fischer, MD, who presented a poster and a
scientific paper at RSNA 2012. Dr. Babcock,
herself a former UC radiology resident, is
Professor Emeritus of Pediatric Radiology at
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical
Center. She first attended RSNA as a senior
Diane Babcock, MD
resident. She told Dr. Von
Fischer, “I was so pleased that you and many
others from Cincinnati were presenting at the
RSNA. Even (outgoing RSNA President)
George Bisset is a former UC Fellow.” Thanks
to an additional donation by Dr. Babcock, the
award will be made again in 2013, with the
Nate Von Fischer, MD
recipient to be chosen by the Radiology
Department Education Committee.

Dr. Collins Participates in Mexico City ACER Event
The Alliance for Clinician Educators in Radiology (ACER)
together with the Sociedad Mexicana de Radiologia e Imagen coorganized a first of its kind, one day, Radiology Educational
Symposium in Mexico City, January 29, 2013, dedicated to the
training of advanced educational skills to academic radiologists.
Dr. Jannette Collins, an ACER Past President, gave two talks as
part of the symposium. Registrants included over 40 academic
radiologists involved in postgraduate radiology education programs across Mexico. The symposium focused on promoting lifelong learning, appreciating adult learning theories, improving
presentation skills, and effectively using new educational electronic
tools, through both didactic sessions and hands-on workshops.
Diane Babcock Travel Award Supports RSNA Attendance
The Diane Babcock Travel Award was established to support a
radiology resident’s attendance at a national meeting. The first
recipient was Chief Resident Nate Von
Fischer, MD, who presented a poster and a
scientific paper at RSNA 2012. Dr. Babcock,
herself a former UC radiology resident, is
Professor Emeritus of Pediatric Radiology at
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical
Center. She first attended RSNA as a senior
Diane Babcock, MD
resident. She told Dr. Von
Fischer, “I was so pleased that you and many
others from Cincinnati were presenting at the
RSNA. Even (outgoing RSNA President)
George Bisset is a former UC Fellow.” Thanks
to an additional donation by Dr. Babcock, the
award will be made again in 2013, with the
Nate Von Fischer, MD
recipient to be chosen by the Radiology
Department Education Committee.

UC Radiologists Among 2013’s Top Docs
Cincinnati Magazine announced its annual Top Doctors in its
January issue, and once again a number of UC radiologists made
the list. The magazine asked over 5,000 local physicians who they
would recommend (other than themselves) if “you, a family member, or a
friend needed medical attention.”
Physicians receiving five or more
recommendations made the magazine’s
published list. Under Radiology, these
included K. Ann Choe, MD; Rebecca
Cornelius, MD; Ralph Shipley, MD; and
Sadhna Verma, MD. Ross Ristagno, MD,
and Doan Vu, MD, were listed under
Interventional Radiology. Jonathan
Moulton, MD, and Thomas Tomsick, MD,
were listed for both Radiology and IR.
Cincy Magazine published its 2013 Best
Doctors List in December. Cincy’s list is
based on a survey by Best Doctors in America, which asks doctors
who they would name “if you or a loved one needed a doctor in
your specialty.” In Radiology, the list included Marilyn J. Goske,
MD; Mary Mahoney, MD; Rebecca Cornelius, MD; Robert R. Lukin,
MD; and Thomas Tomsick, MD. Under Pediatric Radiology, Cincy
listed William S. Ball, MD; Alan Brody, MD; Brian Coley, MD; and
Tal Laor, MD. In Nuclear Medicine, Michael Gelfand, MD, and
Edward Silberstein, MD, made the list.
