Dear Colleagues:

I am pleased to announce that Evelyn Y. Anthony, M.D., FACR, has been named chair of the department of radiology, effective March 1.

Dr. Anthony joins us from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, where she serves as a professor of radiology, with secondary faculty appointments in pediatrics and biomedical engineering. She also serves as the School of Medicine’s vice dean of faculty affairs.

Dr. Anthony received her undergraduate degree in zoology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a certificate in biblical studies from the International School of Theology before earning her medical degree at the Duke University School of Medicine. She then completed residency training in diagnostic radiology and a fellowship in pediatric radiology at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

Since joining the Wake Forest faculty in 2002, she has served in a variety of leadership positions, including as pediatric radiology section chief, pediatric imaging medical director, chair of the Faculty Representative Council and associate director of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute Evaluation Program. In her clinical role, she works with a team of physician scholars and technologists, providing medical imaging services for the 200-bed children’s hospital and Level 1 pediatric trauma center.

Dr. Anthony specializes in trauma imaging, neonatal imaging/fetal MRI and pediatric cancer imaging, and her corresponding research has been funded by organizations such as the Crash Injury Research Engineering Network. She has been named to the Best Doctors list since 2011, was awarded fellowship in the American College of Radiology in 2019 and is a 2020 graduate of the Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine fellowship.
