In 1999, the American Board of Radiology (ABR) implemented an innovative training program track in diagnostic radiology (DR) and radiation oncology (RO) designed to stimulate development of a cadre of future academic researchers and educators in the 2 disciplines. The program was designated the Holman Research Pathway (HRP). An in-depth retrospective review of initial certification examination performance, post-training career choices, and academic productivity has not been written. This report represents a 10-year retrospective review of post-training performance of a cohort of trainees who have had sufficient time to complete their training and initial certification process and to enter practice.
All pertinent proceedings of the ABR and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Residency Review Committees for DR and RO between 1997 and May 2011 were reviewed. Thirty-four HRP candidates who fulfilled the established evaluation criteria were identified, and their ABR data files were analyzed regarding performance on the qualifying and certifying examinations. All candidates were contacted directly to obtain a current curriculum vitae.
Twenty candidates in RO and 14 candidates in DR were identifiable for review. All candidates attained initial certification. At the time of analysis, 23 of 33 (66.6%) candidates were employed in full-time academic practice (1 DR candidate remained in a fellowship and was not evaluated regarding employment status). Fifteen of 20 (75%) RO candidates were in faculty positions compared with 7 of 13 (53.8%) DR trainees. Additional academic productivity metrics are reported.
A high percentage of HRP trainees remained in academic practice and demonstrated significant academic productivity as measured by manuscript authorship and research support. Additional time and observation will be needed to determine whether these findings will be sustained by past, current, and future HRP trainees.
1999 年，美国放射学委员会（ABR）实施了一项创新的诊断放射学（DR）和放射肿瘤学（RO）培训计划，旨在培养未来这两个学科的学术研究人员和教育工作者。该计划被指定为霍尔曼研究途径（HRP）。目前尚未对初始认证考试表现、培训后职业选择和学术成果进行深入的回顾性评估。本报告代表了对一组已完成培训和初始认证过程并进入实践的受训者进行的为期 10 年的培训后绩效回顾。
回顾了 1997 年至 2011 年 5 月期间 ABR 和研究生医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）居留审查委员会的所有相关程序。确定了 34 名符合既定评估标准的 HRP 候选人，并分析了他们在资格考试和认证考试中的表现。所有候选人都直接联系以获得最新的简历。
可对 20 名 RO 和 14 名 DR 的候选人进行审查。所有候选人都获得了初始认证。在分析时，33 名候选人中有 23 名（66.6%）从事全职学术实践（1 名 DR 候选人仍在进行研究金，未对其就业状况进行评估）。20 名 RO 候选人中有 15 名（75%）在教职岗位，而 13 名 DR 学员中只有 7 名（53.8%）。报告了其他学术生产力指标。
HRP 学员中有很大一部分人留在学术实践中，并表现出了显著的学术成果，体现在论文作者和研究支持方面。需要更多的时间和观察来确定这些发现是否会得到过去、现在和未来 HRP 学员的支持。
