The Michigan Radiological Society (MRS), founded in October of 1921 by Preston M. Hickey, MD, is a proactive and dynamic association that brings together radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, residents, fellows, and medical students. Over the years, the MRS has made significant strides, working alongside the Michigan State Medical Society and the State Legislature to ensure that diagnostic imaging studies are conducted by medically trained specialists specifically trained in radiology.
The MRS has received national recognition from the American College of Radiology for its achievements in overall excellence, meetings and education, and radiological safety since 2004. This recognition highlights the society’s ongoing commitment to advancing the field and improving patient care.
In addition to its advocacy and educational efforts, the MRS provides a valuable platform for medical students to present radiology cases, showcase their work, and explore the diverse field of radiology. Through its semi-annual medical student presentations and competitions, the MRS offers future radiologists opportunities to grow in the specialty while helping them decide if radiology is the right career path for them.

The Resident and Fellow Section (RFS) of the Medical Radiological Society provides over 300 members-in-training with mentorship programs, networking opportunities, and educational events to achieve success in the radiology field. Additionally, the RFS advocates for trainees’ needs and interests, working closely with the Board of Trustees and other MRS committees. It focuses on education, mentorship, advocacy, and innovation to equip the next generation of radiologists to tackle industry challenges.
