Objective. Our purpose was to investigate radiology fellowship directors' and recent fellows' experiences and perceptions with regard to the fellowship application and selection process and to compare these experiences and perceptions. Materials and Methods. Institutional review board approval was obtained. We conducted an online survey of the memberships of three radiology subspecialty societies between October 2009 and December 2009 to learn about radiologists' views regarding various aspects of radiology fellowships. Results. In the process of selecting fellows, program directors and recent fellows consider performance during the radiology residency and the quality or prestige of the residency program as the most important objective factors, and the personal interview, letters of recommendation, and personality as the most important subjective factors. 25% of the program directors were in the match, and 41% of the recent fellows were in the match. Most (48%) of program directors favored a match, but most (56%) of the recent fellows disfavored participating in a match. Both program directors and recent fellows expressed satisfaction with the fellowship application and selection process. Conclusion. There was no majority support for a fellowship match among program directors and recent fellows and less support among recent fellows. Recent fellows appear more satisfied with the current selection and application process than program directors.
目的。我们的目的是调查放射科住院医师培训项目主任和近期结业学员在住院医师培训申请及选拔过程中的经历和看法，并比较这些经历和看法。材料与方法。获得了机构审查委员会的批准。我们在2009年10月至2009年12月期间对三个放射科亚专业学会的会员进行了在线调查，以了解放射科医生对放射科住院医师培训各方面的看法。结果。在选拔住院医师培训学员的过程中，项目主任和近期结业学员认为放射科住院医师培训期间的表现以及住院医师培训项目的质量或声誉是最重要的客观因素，而个人面试、推荐信和个性是最重要的主观因素。25%的项目主任参与了住院医师培训匹配，41%的近期结业学员参与了住院医师培训匹配。大多数（48%）项目主任支持住院医师培训匹配，但大多数（56%）近期结业学员不赞成参与住院医师培训匹配。项目主任和近期结业学员都对住院医师培训申请及选拔过程表示满意。结论。项目主任和近期结业学员中没有多数人支持住院医师培训匹配，近期结业学员中支持的更少。近期结业学员似乎比项目主任对当前的选拔和申请过程更满意。
