He has authored or co-authored 67 original publications and book chapters. He has served as visiting professor on numerous occasions and has participated in over 100 instructional courses in the United States and abroad. His expertise in gastrointestinal radiology will greatly enhance the fulfillment of the missions of the AFIP. As Distinguished Scientist, Dr Rohrmann will participate in all educational and research activities of the Department of Radiologic Pathology at the AFIP. Thus, he will make a major contribution to the education of radiology residents and practicing radiologists in the United States and throughout the world.

The Distinguished Scientist program was first established in 1983 and is now an integral part of the Department of Radiologic Pathology. The position receives federal funding through the American Registry of Pathology. Funding is also provided by several other organizations: the American College of Radiology, the American Roentgen Ray Society, the Radiological Society of North America, the Association of University Radiologists, and the American Osteopathic College of Radiology. Representatives from each of these organizations, together with a representative from the Association of Program Directors in Radiology, form the Conjoint Committee for Radiologic Pathology at the AFIP and are responsible for selecting the Distinguished Scientist each year. The committee strongly considers the projected needs of the Department of Radiologic Pathology and the AFIP when selecting the Distinguished Scientist.

Any established academic radiologist interested in spending a year studying the correlation between abnormal radiologic images and the underlying pathologic processes is welcome to apply. Those wishing to apply should submit a letter of interest outlining the projects they would pursue during their time at the AFIP and an updated copy of their curriculum vitae to Melissa L. Rosado de Christenson at the address listed herein. Applications for the AFIP Distinguished Scientist position for the 2002–2003 academic year must be received by January 30, 2001.
