To measure perceptions of radiology residents regarding the imaging needs of the developing world and the potential role of an organized global health imaging curriculum during residency training.
An electronic survey was created and then distributed to residents in accredited US radiology residency.
Two hundred ninety-four residents responded to the survey. A majority (61%) planned to pursue future international medical aid work, even though a similar proportion (59%) believed that they would be ill-prepared with their current training to pursue this career goal. The vast majority (91%) of respondents stated that their residency program offers no opportunities to participate in global health imaging experiences. Most surveyed residents felt that an organized global health imaging curriculum would improve understanding of basic disease processes (87%) and cost-conscious care (82%), prepare residents for lifelong involvement in global health (80%), and increase interpretative skills in basic radiology modalities (73%). If such a curriculum were available, most (62%) of surveyed residents stated that they would be likely or very likely to participate. Many (58%) believed the availability of such a program would have influenced their choice of residency program; a similar proportion of residents (75%) believed that the availability of a global health imaging curriculum would increase recruitment to the field of radiology.
Many radiology residents are motivated to acquire global health imaging experience, with most survey respondents planning to participate in global health initiatives. These data demonstrate an imbalance between the level of resident interest and the availability of global health imaging opportunities, and support the need for discussion on how to implement global health imaging training within radiology residency programs.
评估放射科住院医师对发展中国家影像学需求的认知，以及在住院医师培训期间实施有组织的全球医学影像学课程的潜在作用。
我们创建了一个电子调查问卷，并分发给美国认可的放射科住院医师。
共有 294 名住院医师对该调查做出回应。大多数（61%）人计划从事未来的国际医疗援助工作，尽管有类似比例（59%）的人认为，他们目前的培训使他们难以实现这一职业目标。绝大多数（91%）受访者表示，他们的住院医师培训计划没有提供参与全球医学影像学经验的机会。大多数受访者认为，有组织的全球医学影像学课程将有助于提高对基本疾病过程（87%）和成本意识的理解，为他们终生参与全球健康做好准备（80%），并提高基本放射学影像学技能（73%）。如果有这样的课程，大多数（62%）受访者表示他们很可能或非常可能参与。许多人（58%）认为这样的课程会影响他们对住院医师培训计划的选择；同样比例的住院医师（75%）认为全球医学影像学课程的开设将增加对放射科领域的招聘。
许多放射科住院医师有兴趣获得全球医学影像学经验，大多数受访者计划参与全球健康计划。这些数据表明，住院医师的兴趣水平与全球医学影像学机会的提供之间存在不平衡，这支持了需要讨论如何在放射科住院医师培训计划中实施全球医学影像学培训。
