The authors evaluated the current status of resident training in breast imaging in Canada to provide baseline data for guidelines on the amount and the nature of training necessary. Information was obtained, by means of a questionnaire or a telephone interview, from the directors of all 16 radiology residency programs and the 58 radiology residents in their final year at the time of the study. All programs offer training in breast imaging; the training is mandatory in 11 (69%) and elective in 5 (31%). Of the 58 residents, 52 had had some training in breast imaging at the time of the study. Of these, 24 (46%) had spent a period averaging 3.9 weeks exclusively on breast imaging. Forty-one percent of residents felt that the duration of their breast imaging training was too short, and 35% felt that they could not practise mammography independently after their rotation. The authors found that training in breast imaging across the country is highly variable. Although this training is being upgraded in many programs, deficiencies remain. Guidelines are needed to ensure a minimum standard for training in breast imaging.
作者评估了加拿大乳腺影像住院医师培训的现状，以便为确定所需培训的数量和性质的指南提供基线数据。通过问卷调查或电话访谈，从所有16个放射科住院医师培训项目的主任以及研究时最后一年的58名放射科住院医师那里获取了信息。所有项目都提供乳腺影像培训；其中11个项目（69%）是强制性的，5个项目（31%）是选修的。在58名住院医师中，52名在研究时接受过一些乳腺影像培训。其中，24名（46%）平均花费了3.9周专门进行乳腺影像培训。41%的住院医师认为他们的乳腺影像培训时间太短，35%的住院医师觉得轮转结束后他们无法独立进行乳腺钼靶检查。作者发现，全国各地的乳腺影像培训差异很大。尽管许多项目的培训正在升级，但仍存在不足。需要制定指南以确保乳腺影像培训的最低标准。
