The authors provide a commentary on the current status of the Abdominal Radiology Fellowship recruitment process, which is not presently governed by a formal Match. Abdominal Radiology is the largest radiology subspecialty fellowship that remains outside of the Match. The Society of Abdominal Radiology convened a task force in 2019 to assess stakeholder viewpoints on a Match and found that the community was divided. Radiology departments and Abdominal Radiology fellowship program directors have voluntarily complied with a series of guidelines laid out by the Society of Chairs in Academic Radiology Departments during the two most recent recruiting cycles, but challenges in the process persist. Stakeholders report improved organization and fairness as a result of these procedural changes, and the authors suggest that Abdominal Radiology may continue to consider a formal fellowship Match in coming years.
作者就目前的腹部放射学奖学金招聘流程发表了评论，目前该流程不受正式匹配的约束。腹部放射学是规模最大的放射学专科奖学金，仍不属于匹配范围。2019 年，美国腹部放射学会召集了一个工作组，评估利益相关者对匹配的看法，发现社区存在分歧。放射科部门和腹部放射学奖学金项目主任在最近的两个招聘周期中自愿遵守了学术放射学部门主席协会制定的一系列指导方针，但该过程仍存在挑战。利益相关者报告说，由于这些程序上的改变，组织和公平性得到了改善，作者建议腹部放射学在未来几年可能会继续考虑正式的奖学金匹配。
