As part of the 2014 ACR Human Resources Commission Workforce Survey, an assessment of the gender of the U.S. radiologist workforce was undertaken. Radiologist gender in relation to type of practice, work location, leadership roles, and full- versus part-time employment have not previously been assessed by this survey.
The survey was completed by group leaders in radiology identified through the Practice of Radiology Environment Database.
The response rate to the survey was 22%, representing 35% of all practicing radiologists. The survey found that 78% of the radiology workforce is male, and 22% female. Among the men, 58% work in private practice, and 18% in the academic/university environment; among women, percentages were 43% and 31%, respectively. Of all physician leads, 85% are men, 15% women. Of the full-time radiologists, 15% of men are practice leaders compared with 11% of women.
Fewer women than men are in private practice. More women than men practice in academic/university environments. Among part-time radiologists, there are more men than women, but significantly more women work part time than men. Women are in the minority among practice leaders.
作为2014年美国放射学会人力资源委员会劳动力调查的一部分，对美国放射科医生劳动力的性别情况进行了评估。此前该调查尚未对放射科医生的性别与执业类型、工作地点、领导角色以及全职与兼职就业情况之间的关系进行评估。
通过放射学实践环境数据库确定的放射学组长完成了此次调查。
调查的回复率为22%，占所有执业放射科医生的35%。调查发现，放射科劳动力中78%为男性，22%为女性。在男性中，58%从事私人执业，18%在学术/大学环境中工作；在女性中，这两个比例分别为43%和31%。在所有医生领导中，85%是男性，15%是女性。在全职放射科医生中，15%的男性是执业领导，而女性的这一比例为11%。
从事私人执业的女性比男性少。在学术/大学环境中执业的女性比男性多。在兼职放射科医生中，男性比女性多，但从事兼职工作的女性比男性多得多。女性在执业领导中占少数。
