Being a collaborative work, Radiopaedia.org needs a guiding hand. This is the job of the section editors. In this capacity you are able to shape your section, and maintain a high standard of content.

Being a section editor is rewarding, is a great way to study / revise and makes a noticeable addition to your CV. You also make connections with contemporaries from around the world, which, as many of the current editors will attest to, is one of the most enjoyable aspects of this community.
