Greetings to all our Radiology Physician Extenders (RAs/RPAs/PAs/ANRPs), Radiologic Technologists, Nurses and Administrators. ​This annual conference is designed to bring education, discussions, peer networking and a little rest and maybe some entertainment to the radiology family. The ARPE board members have been working diligently to find new locations to bring you this incredible conference. The board members work behind the scenes to bring our generous vendor sponsorships, world class faculty and a great venue together for our attendees. We are happy to bring the symposium to an all-new venue. The St. Charles AmeriStar Resort and Casino is recognized as one of the Hot Spots to be in Missouri. Located on the beautiful Missouri River, this resort has all junior suites for its guest with a large atrium that covers the entire facility including multiple restaurants, shops, conference rooms, a NIGHTCLUB and the amazing Casino.

 

It takes conscientious people to be devoted to their continuing education and increasing knowledge. We understand that with the high demand from accrediting agencies and medical community for all of us to show stronger expertise and dedicated continuing education credits it has become increasingly difficult. We hope that you can use this opportunity in St. Charles, Missouri this year to fulfill your CE requirements as well as a well-deserved vacation.

 

​ The ARPE prides itself on having some of our peers’ present lectures which relate to our daily practice. With so many of us working in different environments, it is great to hear how each of us are practicing and what each of us are doing in day to day activities.

​

This year we continue to bring networking and socializing to the audience each night with our annual ARPE social on Tuesday night with special guest country artist TIM NEUMAN at the amazing RYSE Nightclub. He will be performing his hits and more. Then Wednesday night, the vendors will have a social for us at the AmeriSport Bar and Grill. This allows for more networking and socializing. Multiple vendors this year from all areas of radiology to show tons of products and support services. Let’s show our support for them supporting us.

 

 Next year if you have a great practice tip or cases you want to share, feel free to contact me for an opportunity to present to your peers. We are striving to be an academic organization that gives an opportunity to all radiology and medical personnel to share experiences and network. REMEMBER WE BUILT THIS FOR YOU.

 

Thank you again for your continued support and please feel free to let me know what you would like to see in future symposiums. This symposium is for you and any input is taken seriously. I greatly appreciate all the support that you give to our annual symposium over the years. Without you this would not be possible.

 

 

With deepest thanks,

 

Sean Wiley
