The Merrill Award seeks to encourage excellence across all of Emory’s x-ray imaging locations. “It’s important for supervisors to encourage all x-ray techs to participate,” says Aurora. “We’re encouraging all sites to keep submitting nominations and recognizing people for doing a good job.”

A tech may self-nominate or be nominated by someone else—radiologist, supervisor, or even another tech. Nominations are due by the last day of the month and should be sent by email to the Merrill Award Selection Committee member representing the tech’s location. The three highest scoring images from each site then are sent to the full committee for a new round of scoring. The highest scoring image wins for that month.

Please take time to congratulate this year's Merrill Awards recipients (so far):

2nd place February Merrill Award winner is R. Baker, EP, for beautiful Humerus images.
3rd place February Merrill Award winner is Kelly Reyes, ESJH, for well performed shoulder exam.

Congratulations!
