The Association of Program Directors in Radiology (APDR) regularly surveys its members to gather information regarding a broad range of topics related to radiology residency. The survey results provide insight into the opinions of residency program leadership across the country.
This is an observational cross-sectional study using a web-based survey posed to the APDR membership in the fall of 2017. The final survey consisted of 53 items, 48 multiple choice questions and five write-in comments. An invitation to complete the survey was sent to all 319 active APDR members.
Deidentified responses were collected electronically, tallied utilizing Qualtrics software, and aggregated for the purposes of analysis and reporting at the 66th annual meeting of the Association of University Radiologists. The response rate was 36%.
Over the past 16 years, more PDs have assistant and APDs to administer growing residency programs, but the time allocation for these APDs has come from the PD's protected time. An overwhelming majority of PDs consider independent call beneficial to residents and most think a call assistant is desirable. The vast majority of PDs support a unified fellowship match and allow resident moonlighting. Most fourth year residents are actively or moderately involved in clinical work and teaching. The majority of PDs have lost or expect to lose DR training positions to the new IR/DR programs. In a competitive match, PDs do not rely on residency interviews in their selection process.
放射科住院医师培训项目主任协会（APDR）定期对其成员进行调查，以收集与放射科住院医师培训相关的广泛主题的信息。调查结果深入了解了全国各地住院医师培训项目领导层的意见。
这是一项观察性横断面研究，使用基于网络的调查向 2017 年秋季的 APDR 会员提出。最终调查由 53 项组成，48 项多项选择题和 5 项自由回答评论。向所有 319 名活跃的 APDR 会员发送了完成调查的邀请。
匿名回复以电子方式收集，使用 Qualtrics 软件进行计数，并在协会大学放射学家第 66 届年会上进行汇总，以进行分析和报告。回复率为 36%。
在过去的 16 年中，越来越多的 PD 有助理和 APD 来管理不断增长的住院医师培训计划，但这些 APD 的时间分配来自 PD 的受保护时间。绝大多数 PD 认为独立呼叫对居民有益，大多数人认为呼叫助理是可取的。绝大多数 PD 支持统一的研究金匹配，并允许居民兼职。大多数四年级住院医师积极或适度地参与临床工作和教学。大多数 PD 已经或预计将失去 DR 培训职位给新的 IR/DR 计划。在竞争激烈的比赛中，PD 不依赖住院医师面试来进行选择过程。
