Dear Radiology Professionals and Educators,

Why a case competition?
Case competitions are widely recognized across academic disciplines for their ability to enhance a curriculum through experiential learning. RadX offers your students a unique opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to a real-world challenge in radiology administration from Cleveland Clinic. Participation can serve as a powerful capstone experience and a valuable addition to students’ resumes, showcasing their leadership, analytical, and presentation skills.

Eligible participants include:
- Students currently enrolled in an AS-to-BS program with clinical experience
- New for 2027: Practicing radiology professionals nominated by their leader.
“Participating in RadX gave me valuable feedback on my leadership capabilities and a better understanding of my growth opportunities. It was also a great way to connect with others, expand my network, and learn from fellow participants.” — RadX 2026 participant
