Dartmouth Health radiologist Petra J. Lewis, MD, is the 2024 recipient of the Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) Outstanding Educator Award. Lewis will accept the award at RSNA’s annual meeting in Chicago in December.
Outstanding Educator Award recipients are pioneers in their specialty who have made significant contributions to radiologic education over the last 15 years. The RSNA board of directors selects one radiologist each year that it believes best exemplifies this ideal and long-term commitment to the field.

She came to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in 1998 as a resident physician and has been with Dartmouth Health ever since. She is board certified in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. Lewis holds professorships in radiology and obstetrics and gynecology, and serves as vice chair of radiology education, at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.
