Several published studies have described the success and satisfaction of residents enrolled in human radiology training programs, however comparable studies for veterinary radiology residents are currently lacking. The purpose of this descriptive, survey study was to evaluate resident perceptions of the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (ECVDI) residency training programs. A web-based survey was sent to all listed 114 ECVDI residents and received a 57.0% response (65/114). Of these, 88% of respondents enjoyed their training and 73.5% of finishing respondents agreed they felt ready to work as a veterinary radiologist. First-time pass rates for the theoretical and practical components of the board certifying examinations were >80%. Regarding research and exam preparation, 41.5% and 49.2% of respondents, respectively, did not feel they received appropriate guidance. Eleven percent of respondents felt a lack of mentoring and 7.7% reported not receiving annual appraisals. Findings from this study can be used as background for future studies on perceptions of ECVDI residents and ECVDI residency program directors and for future policy decisions regarding ECVDI residency training programs.
一些已发表的研究描述了参加人类放射学培训计划的住院医师的成功和满意度，然而，目前兽医放射学住院医师缺乏可比的研究。本描述性调查研究的目的是评估住院医师对欧洲兽医诊断影像学院（ECVDI）住院医师培训计划的看法。一项基于网络的调查被发送给所有列出的 114 名 ECVDI 住院医师，收到了 57.0%的回复（65/114）。其中，88%的受访者享受他们的培训，73.5%的完成受访者同意他们觉得自己已经准备好成为一名兽医放射科医生。理论和实践部分的董事会认证考试的一次性通过率>80%。关于研究和考试准备，分别有 41.5%和 49.2%的受访者表示他们没有得到适当的指导。11%的受访者感到缺乏指导，7.7%的受访者表示没有得到年度评估。本研究的结果可作为未来对 ECVDI 住院医师和 ECVDI 住院医师培训计划主任的看法的研究以及未来关于 ECVDI 住院医师培训计划的政策决策的背景。
