About ARPE
What is the ARPE?
The Academy for Radiology Physician Extenders is a professional organization created for the sole purpose of providing high quality, affordable continuing education for Radiology Physician Extenders such as the RPA (Radiology Practitioner Assistant), RA (Radiologist Assistant), NP (Nurse Practitioner), PA (Physician Assistant) and other radiology professionals. The ARPE is a non-profit, non-political organization. This website was created to be a resource for all Extenders. As the organization grows, you will find many additions to our educational opportunities.
President's note
Welcome to all our Radiology Physician Extenders (RAs/RPAs/PAs/ANRPs), Radiologic Technologists, Nurses and Administrators. This annual conference is designed to bring education, discussions, peer networking and a little bit of entertainment to our radiology family. We as board members continue to bring new locations to the ARPE annual conference. The board members work behind the scenes to bring our generous vendor sponsorships, world class faculty and a great venue together for our attendees. We are happy to bring the symposium to an all-new venue. The conference this year will be at the lovely San Antonio Riverwalk. The hotel of choice is the AC Marriott on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Just across the street from all the shops and restaurants lining the riverwalk.
It takes conscientious people to be devoted to their continuing education and increasing knowledge. We understand that with the high demand from accrediting agencies and medical community for all of us to show stronger expertise and dedicated continuing education credits it has become increasingly difficult. We hope that you can use this opportunity in San Antonio this year to fulfill your CE requirements as well as a well-deserved vacation.
This year we continue to bring networking and socializing to the audience each night with our annual ARPE social on Thursday night on the rooftop of the AC Hotel in the 1 Watson restaurant. Then Friday night, the vendors will have their social at a bar to be announced later. This allows for more networking and socializing. Multiple vendors this year from all areas of radiology to show tons of products and support services. Let’s show our support for them supporting us.
Next year if you have a great practice tip or cases you want to share, feel free to contact me for an opportunity to present to your peers. We are striving to be an academic organization that gives an opportunity to all radiology and medical personnel to share experiences and network. REMEMBER WE BUILT THIS FOR YOU.
Thank you again for your continued support and please feel free to let me know what you would like to see at future symposiums. This symposium is for you, and any input is taken seriously. I greatly appreciate all the support that you give to our annual symposium over the years. Without you this would not be possible.
With deepest thanks,
Sean Wiley
