Membership

Welcome to the AHRA's Student Resources page
You'll find information, tools, and opportunities available to help you launch a successful medical imaging career. It is the hope of the DEI Committee that by highlighting and evolving student-focused offerings, AHRA's student engagement and membership will grow. We appreciate the fresh and unique perspective that students can bring to the association, and thereby endeavor to find new ways to be inclusive, and responsive to their needs. A more diverse membership creates a more successful association. Please feel free to send us feedback, ideas, or questions.
