The American Association of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology annually surveys residency programs on a variety of issues related to residency training. The survey allows for comparison between programs regarding training and follows trends on current issues.
Questionnaires were mailed to all accredited programs in the United States (188 programs). The questionnaire consisted of questions regarding general demographic information and specific topics regarding residency training. The 1998 survey focused on turf issues, teleradiology use, residency selection, and prior training.
Completed surveys from 61 programs (32.4%) were returned. Important findings included (a) the ongoing turf battles regarding vascular and obstetric-gynecologic ultrasound, both in general hospital and emergency department patients, (b) the use of teleradiology by most residents, and (c) the low percentage of women in radiology residency programs.
The information obtained during yearly surveys is useful for program evaluation and future planning. Current survey results indicate an increasing use of teleradiology in residency over the past 4 years. The turf battles in ultrasonography (both vascular and obstetric) have remained unchanged over the same time frame.
美国放射学住院总医师协会每年就与住院医师培训相关的各种问题对住院医师培训项目进行调查。该调查有助于比较各项目之间的培训情况，并跟踪当前问题的趋势。
向美国所有获得认证的项目（188个项目）邮寄了调查问卷。问卷包括关于一般人口统计学信息以及住院医师培训具体主题的问题。1998年的调查重点是领域问题、远程放射学应用、住院医师选拔和先前培训。
共收回61个项目（32.4%）的完整调查问卷。重要发现包括：（a）在综合医院和急诊科患者中，关于血管超声和妇产科超声的领域之争仍在持续；（b）大多数住院医师使用远程放射学；（c）放射学住院医师项目中女性比例较低。
每年调查所获得的信息对项目评估和未来规划很有用。当前的调查结果表明，在过去4年里住院医师培训中远程放射学的应用日益增加。在同一时间段内，超声检查（血管超声和妇产科超声）的领域之争仍未改变。
