MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION FORM

February 21, 2011

Dear colleagues:

It was a great honor to be elected as your president of North American Iranian Radiological Society (NAIRS) in our annual meeting at Chicago, Illinois on November 30, 2010. 

NAIRS was founded by our late colleagues Drs. Majid Roholamini and Issa Yaghmai in 1991 in order to bring together the radiologists and allied professionals who are engaged in their respective professions outside the motherland.  Over the years and with Dr. Roholamin's timeless efforts, NAIRS expanded its territory to other parts of the world and is considered the sister society of Iranian Society of Radiology.

Considering the fact that our colleagues in Iran do not have the luxury of accessing all information that we take for granted outside the motherland, this academic association became a gateway for exchange of knowledge between the radiologists inside and outside of Iran and especially for the residents and fellows.

For those of you who are in decision making positions in academic medicine, it would be fruitful to encourage your fellows to spend some time as visiting fellows in Iran and likewise facilitate having visiting fellows from Iran.

In addition, I encourage all of you, and especially those who have the resources, to attend the Annual Iranian Congress of Radiology.  This annual meeting will be a great opportunity for enrichment and exchange of knowledge as lectures and refresher courses are given by the radiologists and allied professions inside and outside the motherland.

This year, The 27th Iranian Congress of Radiology will be held on May 17th through May 20th, 2011  (27 through 30, Ordibehesht 1390 ) at Olympic Hotel  in Tehran.

            از بیست و هفتم تا سیم اردیبهشت ماه ۱۳۹۰

As you know, this is the best season to visit the motherland!
