The purpose of this survey was to identify current and projected subspecialty employment needs across Canadian academic radiology practices.
An electronic survey was distributed to academic radiology department heads within the faculties of medicine at Canadian universities between September and October 2019. Respondents identified the number of partnership track radiologists hired in the last academic year, the number of fellowship-trained new hires, and the top 3 subspecialties for new and prospective hires. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data.
Nine academic radiology department heads responded to the survey (75% response rate) with good regional representation across Canada. Ninety-five percent of new hires within the last academic year were subspecialty fellowship trained. The top subspecialties for new hires in the last year were abdominal imaging and interventional neuroradiology, with 77.8% and 44.4% of academic leaders reporting them as one of the top 3 subspecialties, respectively. The top 3 subspecialties for prospective hires in the next academic year included musculoskeletal imaging (n = 6, 66.7%), followed by abdominal imaging (n = 5, 55.6%), with pediatric radiology (n = 3, 33.3%) and cardiothoracic imaging (n = 3, 33.3%) tying for third place. There was some variability in the subspecialty needs for hires between regions.
The survey results provide valuable information about the current and future subspecialty needs of academic radiology practices. The data obtained can provide guidance to trainees regarding fellowship training options that will optimize their future employability.
本调查旨在确定加拿大学术放射科实践中当前和预计的亚专业就业需求。
2019 年 9 月至 10 月期间，向加拿大大学医学系的学术放射科主任分发了电子调查。受访者确定了在上一个学术年度雇用的合作轨道放射科医生人数、 fellowship 培训的新聘人数以及新聘和预期聘的前 3 个亚专业。使用描述性统计数据总结数据。
9 名学术放射科主任对调查做出了回应（响应率为 75%），在加拿大各地具有良好的区域代表性。在上一个学术年度雇用的新员工中有 95%是亚专业 fellowship 培训。去年新聘的前 3 个亚专业是腹部成像和介入神经放射学，分别有 77.8%和 44.4%的学术领导报告称它们是前 3 个亚专业之一。下一个学术年度的预期招聘的前 3 个亚专业包括肌肉骨骼成像（n = 6，66.7%），其次是腹部成像（n = 5，55.6%），儿科放射学（n = 3，33.3%）和心胸放射学（n = 3，33.3%）并列第三。不同地区的招聘需求在亚专业方面存在一定差异。
调查结果提供了有关学术放射科实践当前和未来亚专业需求的有价值信息。获得的数据可以为学员提供有关 fellowship 培训选择的指导，从而优化他们未来的就业能力。
