About Mary Ann Turner, M.D., FACR, FSAR
Dr. Mary Ann Turner, a Longstanding Educator and Mentor
Dr. Turner serves as Professor of Radiology, Vice-Chair of Faculty, and Director of Gastrointestinal and Genitourinary Radiology in our Department. She was the first woman faculty member in the VCU Department of Radiology, the first woman to practice radiology in central Virginia, and the first woman president of the Richmond Radiology Society. Among other firsts, she also pioneered interventional biliary radiology at VCU, providing and directing this service for more than 20 years. As one of the longest-serving faculty members in the history of our Department, she has made many contributions to our Department, the VCU Health System, and the profession of radiology from the local to the national level.
Since 1975, Dr. Turner has shared her expansive fund of knowledge of abdominal imaging with hundreds of radiology residents and fellows, both at the workstation and in the procedure rooms. Although well known to our alumni and current residents, her teaching prowess has been recognized with the Departmental Klaus Ranniger Memorial Award for Excellence in Resident Teaching multiple times over the years. She also received the School of Medicine Irby James Award for Teaching Excellence in 2013, and her teaching and many contributions to abdominal radiology were recognized on a national level in 2011 when she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Abdominal Radiology.
