Two simultaneous surveys were conducted by the Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology (ARRO). A survey of all residents in Radiation Oncology was conducted to obtain information on trends in residency training. A simultaneous survey of Chief Residents was obtained to determine more specific information on current training programs. Over one-half of residents responded. Eighty-eight percent of respondents were graduates of a North American medical school. Most did at least an internship prior to entering Radiation Oncology and 3/4 of those who did not do a separate internship rotated through other areas at a later time to broaden their knowledge. One-half are Board certified or Board eligible in another specialty or hold a Masters or Ph.D. degree. Three-quarters of all residents had authorship of at least one paper during training and one-half were primary authors. Eighty percent felt adequately prepared for practice after residency. One-half plan at least an initial post-residency affiliation with an academic center. Many were concerned that Radiation Oncologists are not afforded respect equivalent to that of other specialties. Ninety-eight percent favored departmental status for Radiation Oncology. Resident recommendations for improving the image of Radiation Oncology are presented.
放射肿瘤学住院医师协会（ARRO）进行了两项同步调查。对所有放射肿瘤学住院医师进行了一项调查，以获取有关住院医师培训趋势的信息。同时对住院总医师进行了一项调查，以确定有关当前培训计划的更具体信息。超过一半的住院医师做出了回应。88%的受访者毕业于北美医学院。大多数人在进入放射肿瘤学领域之前至少进行过实习，四分之三未进行单独实习的人后来在其他领域轮转以拓宽知识面。一半的人在另一个专业领域获得了委员会认证或有资格获得认证，或者拥有硕士或博士学位。四分之三的住院医师在培训期间至少发表过一篇论文，其中一半是第一作者。80%的人认为住院医师培训后为临床实践做好了充分准备。一半的人计划至少在住院医师培训后最初与学术中心建立联系。许多人担心放射肿瘤学家没有得到与其他专业同等的尊重。98%的人赞成放射肿瘤学部门的地位。文中还介绍了住院医师对改善放射肿瘤学形象的建议。
