Dr. Brent Weinberg, who has been serving as Interim Division Director for Neuroradiology is the new Division Director for Neuroradiology effective November 1, 2023. We are grateful for Dr. Weinberg's leadership during this interim period.
The decision to formally transition without launching a search is exceptional and was based on Dr. Weinberg's effectiveness in the Interim Division Director role, longstanding succession planning efforts, and the realization that a formal national search unlikely would yield an alternative candidate as accomplished or talented as Dr. Weinberg.
