The First Annual International Conference on Expanding Scholarship in Radiology Education was held on Friday August 24th, 2007 in London, Ontario, Canada. It drew approximately 75 attendees from across Canada, as well as the United States and Southeast Asia. The enthusiasm displayed motivated the formation of the Society for Scholarship in Radiology Education, as well as the planning of the Second Conference.
