" n honor of Joseph E. Whitley, MD, a certificate and a $1,000 honorarium are

awarded annually by the Association of

University Radiologists (AUR) to the radiologist who submits and presents the best

manuscript on a subject related to radiologic education. Whitley Award scientific presentations on teaching have become a vital factor in helping the AUR continue its premier role as a forum for educational research and innovation in radiology.

The AUR Committee on Teaching urges all members to consider submission for the 1998 award. To be eligible for the award, the paper must be focused predominantly on education in radiology. The educational issue investigated may relate to any level--undergraduate, graduate, or postgraduate.

Finalists will be invited to present their works in an expanded format at a Whitley Award judging forum during the 46th Annual Meeting of the AUR in New Orleans, Louisiana, March 25-29, 1998. Educational papers not invited for the judging

session may be considered for presentation at one of several other educational sessions to be held during the annual meeting. After the judging, submissions will
