Imaging Empowered
We advocate for broad access to safe and effective healthcare, and advanced imaging, provided with the highest standards of radiological expertise.
About MN RADPAC
MN RADPAC was established because often the laws that shape our day aren’t written far away.
Issues like scope of practice, insurance regulation, licensure, workforce stabilization, trainee education and prior authorization guidelines are decided at our state capitol.
The national RADPAC operates and advocates for Radiology at the federal level. MN RADPAC, is the Minnesota Radiological Society’s (MRS) sister organization. The MRS is prohibited from participating in direct political funding.
The MN RADPAC exists to support imaging favorable policies at the state level.

Education is the first step to representation
Nearly 64% of the public, and most legislators, cannot accurately describe what a radiologist does. Lawmakers cannot champion our interests it they do not understand who we are and what we do.
Support the interests and well being of our patients.
Radiologists are uniquely positioned to promote safe, expert imaging, for all patients, regardless of circumstance.
Promote imaging excellence.
Scope expansion for non-physician providers may seem like an easy legislative fix. But, Radiologists know that high quality care and imaging require rigorous and specialized training.

Radiologist are clinical AI experts who deploy and oversee AI tools daily. We can provide policymakers with insights about the realities of AI, and serve as an ethical counterbalance to AI hype and fear.
Fight against needless administrative burden.
Advocate for prior authorization and documentation reform, so we spend more time on patient care and less time on bureaucratic obstacles.
