Dr. Mirvis said, “I’ve known Erin since she was a resident and I was a junior faculty member at the University of Maryland. She was then, and remains today, a dedicated, hardworking, inventive, and all-around gifted individual. I have no doubt she will bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm to Applied Radiology.”  Kieran Anderson, Vice President & Group Publisher at Anderson Publishing added; “We are thrilled to have Dr. Schwartz expand her editorial role here at Applied Radiology and we look forward to working with her to continue the legacy of Dr. Mirvis and others before him.”  Kieran went on to say, “Dr. Mirvis and his Administrative Editor and wife, Linda Cohen Mirvis, will be greatly missed, but always remembered for their unwavering support of Applied Radiology and unrelenting emphasis on publishing quality clinical review content for the radiology community.”
