Anthony J. Wilson, MB, ChB, will serve as the Distinguished Scientist in the Department of Radiologic Pathology at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) from July 1, 2002, to June 30, 2003. Dr Wilson is a professor in the Department of Radiology at Harborview Medical Center of the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle, Wash. He has recently stepped down as Vice-Chairman and Director of Harborview Radiology. His principal area of interest and expertise is musculoskeletal radiology with special interests in trauma and the radiologic manifestations of gunshot injuries. He earned his medical degree from Otago University, Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1971. He completed his residency in radiology at the Auckland Hospital Board in Auckland, New Zealand in 1976 and his fellowship in skeletal radiology at the University of Missouri in Columbia in 1979. Since the completion of his postgraduate training, he has served on the staff of the University of Missouri Medical Center in Columbia, Mo, the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, Conn, and the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Mo. He has been affiliated with the University of Washington Medical School since 1994 and attained the rank of Professor in 1997. He has delivered more than 60 presentations as a guest lecturer at medical centers around the world and at major radiologic science symposiums.
Dr Wilson is the author or co-author of more than 70 original scientific publications and 12 book chapters in the radiology literature on topics ranging from musculoskeletal neoplasms and trauma to computer-based applications in radiology. He is active in numerous national and international societies, including the American Roentgen Ray Society, the American Society of Emergency Radiology, the International Skeletal Society, the Royal Australasian College of Radiologists, the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology, and the Radiological Society of North America. He is a reviewer for Radiology and the American Journal of Roentgenology among many other scientific journals.
Dr Wilson has recently served on the editorial boards of Complications in Orthopedics and Emergency Radiology. He has been recognized for exceptional talent as an educator of radiology residents as the recipient of numerous Teacher-of-the-Year awards at every medical center at which he has been a faculty member. His participation as the Distinguished Scientist will enhance the educational programs and help fulfill the mission of the Department of Radiologic Pathology at the AFIP.
The Distinguished Scientist program was established in 1983 and is now an integral part of the Department of Radiologic Pathology. The position is federally funded through the American Registry of Pathology but is generously supported by contributions from the American College of Radiology, the Radiological Society of North America, the American Roentgen Ray Society, 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.
Any established academic radiologist interested in spending a year studying the correlation between abnormal radiologic images and their underlying pathologic processes is welcome to apply. Those interested should submit a letter of interest outlining the project they would pursue during their time at the AFIP and a copy of their curriculum vitae to Kelly K. Koeller at the address listed herein. Applications for the Distinguished Scientist position for the 2004-2005 academic year must be received by January 31, 2003.
