The second annual University of Wisconsin Radiology Summit gathered together new and familiar faces from across the country for a week of learning, connecting and skiing the majestic mountains in Park City, Utah. Hosted by the UW Department of Radiology, the Summit grew in attendance while continuing to provide a relaxed atmosphere ideal for the educational event.
“In addition to alumni and UW colleagues, we were happy to welcome radiologists who heard about the Summit by word-of-mouth and the internet,” said Summit Co-Director Tabby Kennedy, MD. “This demonstrated a need for in-person, informal events where radiologists can earn CME credits while building a wider network of colleagues.”
Planned by Co-Directors Dr. Kennedy and Roberta Strigel, MD, MS, the program ran from Monday, January 19 through Thursday, January 22, 2026, and featured 24 sessions led by 11 faculty members. Participants learned about fetal anomalies, contrast agents, mammographic asymmetries and even ski injuries. They also received an AI starter kit tailored for radiologists.
Joining the faculty presenters, trainees had the opportunity to share their research as electronic exhibits.
“Including residents and fellows was always a priority when planning the Summit,” Dr. Strigel explained. “We’re fostering connections that will span careers so it’s never too early to participate!”
The welcome reception at the start of the week gave people a chance to introduce themselves – and find a partner to ski the slopes with!
Park City boasts 7,300 acres of skiable terrain including paths into the historic downtown – the perfect way to slide into a leisurely lunch or gourmet dinner! And if a day of learning and outdoor activities require a more low-key evening, the Grand Summit Hotel offered an expansive heated pool and hot tubs.
To confirm that the department has updated contact information, people can send an email to radnews@uwhealth.org or contact the co-directors directly. Next year’s dates will be announced on the UW Radiology Summit webpage.
