Radiology practices characterized as small and rural are challenged to recruit and retain interventional radiologists. Lack of access to interventional radiologic services results in a failure to meet the needs of patients, hospitals, and other community stakeholders. Acknowledging this challenge, the ACR's Commission on General, Small, Emergency and/or Rural Practice and Commission on Interventional and Cardiovascular Imaging and the Society of Interventional Radiology partnered to establish a joint task force to study this issue and identify strategies the ACR and the Society of Interventional Radiology should take to improve small and rural practice recruitment and retention of interventional radiologists. This report describes the deliberations and recommendations of the task force.
放射科业务以小型和农村为特征，面临招聘和留住介入放射科医生的挑战。无法获得介入放射服务会导致无法满足患者、医院和其他社区利益相关者的需求。为了应对这一挑战，ACR 的普通、小型、紧急和/或农村实践委员会以及介入和心血管成像委员会与介入放射学学会合作，成立了一个联合工作组，研究这一问题，并确定 ACR 和介入放射学学会应采取的策略，以改善小型和农村实践对介入放射科医生的招聘和留用。本报告描述了工作组的审议和建议。
