The aim of this report is to provide a five-year summary of the Minnesota Radiological Society's initiative to send first-year radiology residents to the ACR at the AMCLC. The authors provide an update of the survey data for the first five years (2009-2013) and a report of the ACR membership status of the original 2009 cohort (class of 2012) five years after their conference experience.
Participating residents from 2009 to 2013 completed pre- and postconference surveys assessing their knowledge of ACR-related topics, conference satisfaction, and intention to join the ACR. ACR membership status of the first cohort was determined using the ACR membership database and compared with both the previous five graduating classes and the national average for practicing radiologists.
Seventy first-year Minnesota radiology residents attended the conference from 2009 to 2013. Knowledge of the ACR significantly increased after the conference. Most residents were highly satisfied or satisfied with their conference experience and highly likely or likely to join the ACR in the future. Two years after residency, 87% of the first cohort (13 of 15) were ACR members, compared with an average membership rate of 57% (63 of 110) for the previous five graduating classes.
Exposing radiology residents early to the ACR at the AMCLC leads to a significant increase in knowledge pertaining to the professional organization. This exposure likely leads to increased ACR membership when residents enter practice. This early engagement in radiology affairs can lead to a higher rate of ACR membership and to a better informed membership.
本报告旨在提供明尼苏达放射学会将一年级放射科住院医师送往美国放射学会年会（AMCLC）活动的五年总结。作者提供了前五年（2009 - 2013年）的调查数据更新，以及2009年首批学员（2012届）在参加会议五年后的美国放射学会会员资格报告。
2009年至2013年参与的住院医师完成了会前和会后调查，评估他们对美国放射学会相关主题的了解、会议满意度以及加入美国放射学会的意向。使用美国放射学会会员数据库确定首批学员的会员资格状态，并与前五个毕业班以及执业放射科医生的全国平均水平进行比较。
2009年至2013年，70名明尼苏达一年级放射科住院医师参加了该会议。会议后，对美国放射学会的了解显著增加。大多数住院医师对他们的会议经历非常满意或满意，并且非常有可能或有可能在未来加入美国放射学会。住院医师培训两年后，首批学员中的87%（15人中有13人）成为美国放射学会会员，而前五个毕业班的平均会员率为57%（110人中有63人）。
让放射科住院医师在年会早期接触美国放射学会，会使与该专业组织相关的知识显著增加。这种接触可能会导致住院医师进入实践后美国放射学会会员人数增加。这种对放射学事务的早期参与可以提高美国放射学会的会员率，并使会员更了解情况。
