Results of the 1993 survey of the American Association of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology.

Abstract:

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:A survey of chief residents of academic radiology programs is conducted annually on behalf of the American Association of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology (A3CR2). Data are obtained to improve the training of diagnostic radiology residents and to increase the understanding of radiologists and their associates about issues of interest to radiologists in training. METHODS:Questionnaires were mailed to 133 accredited programs in the United States and Canada. A wide variety of demographic and common interest questions were asked. The analysis took into account geographic location of the responders and the size of the residency program. Comparisons were made to the data from prior years. RESULTS:Completed surveys from 93 programs (70%) were returned. The percentage of women residents is increasing. Important regional and size variations exist in several areas including salary, workload, prior clinical training, resident/fellow ratios, post residency plans, and call schedules. Although many chief residents feel knowledgeable about the health care system, opinions about the future of radiology and medical care are tentative. CONCLUSIONS:This survey provides important demographic information about academic radiology residency programs. The summary information regarding plans for fellowship training, resident call schedules, and opinions about socioeconomic issues may be useful for chief residents, program directors, and departmental chairmen.
