The situation faced by radiologists and radiology and diagnostic imaging clinics across the country has become increasingly challenging. Professionals from other medical fields, or without radiology specialties and without adequate qualifications, are using radiology to their advantage: teaching imaging courses, performing and reporting on exams. On the other hand, health insurance companies are repeatedly imposing mechanisms to reduce costs and rules that disregard contracts and current regulations.
Therefore, the role of the Brazilian College of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging is to defend and support the rights of our medical specialty, always. The CBR reinforces its support for its members, clearly and assertively, through legal actions and investigations of complaints; that's why you play an essential role for us.
The school's reporting channel is easily accessible and can be accessed from your cell phone, laptop, or tablet. To register a complaint, it takes less than 2 minutes and can be done anonymously. Learn about the most common cases you can report.
