Using a Nationwide Virtual Radiology Student Interest Group to Expand Medical Students' General Awareness, Drive Greater Interest, and Achieve Uniform National Messaging in the Field of Radiology.

Our results show that the RadSIG Intensive was effective in increasing students' understanding of radiology as a field and a potential career. Online outreach can also lower the resistance and improve student comfort in reaching out for mentorship, which may provide a new pathway to reach underserved students with a unifying message. By furthering a platform based on voluntary and supplemental resources, we see a far greater potential of impacting the perception and known role of the imager in patient care among our next generation of physicians.
