A perspective on radiology residency curriculum guidelines: results of the 1995 survey of program directors.

Abstract:

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:The development of curriculum guidelines for radiology residency has been found to be favored by 80% of program directors (PDs) nationwide. I surveyed PDs to develop a consensus of opinion concerning minimum training requirements in the subspecialty rotations. METHODS:A survey developed by members of the Ad Hoc Curriculum Committee of the Association of Program Directors in Radiology was mailed to all U.S. PDs. RESULTS:One hundred forty-one (82%) completed responses were received. There was agreement among the PDs about the minimum length of training needed in the various subspecialties. Seventy-four percent of the PDs supported the concept of developing educational objectives and goals in each subspecialty and of specifying procedures in which residents should be trained. Only a minority of PDs thought that the training guidelines should specify minimum numbers of procedures. CONCLUSION:The consensus of PDs is that the radiology residency curriculum should include a minimum of 3 months in each of the following categories: chest radiology, gastrointestinal radiology, musculoskeletal radiology, pediatric radiology, cardiovascular and interventional radiology, sonography, and body computed tomography (CT) scanning. In neuroradiology, inclusive of neuroangiography, neuro CT scanning, and neuro magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, a resident should spend 4 months. At least 2 months should be devoted to each of the following: uroradiology, mammography, body MR imaging, and emergency radiology. A majority of PDs also favored developing educational objectives for each of the subspecialty rotations.
