The neuroradiology job market is constantly changing along with the skill sets needed by fellowship graduates to participate successfully in the job market. This study aimed to establish a baseline of employer requirements in the neuroradiology job market within the study timeframe.
The American Society of Neuroradiology and American College of Radiology job boards were queried for neuroradiology positions between August 12, 2022, and December 31, 2022. The positions and requirements were categorized into academic versus private practice, general diagnostic radiology, full-subspecialized neuroradiology, hybrid remote/onsite, outpatient, inpatient/emergency, general interventional radiology procedures, and neuroradiology procedures. Exclusion criteria included neurointerventional only, remote-only, pediatric-only, no preference for neuroradiology, and duplicate posts within and between the job boards.
Of 1777 total job posts, 179 were neuroradiology-specific and the remainder were general. Of the 179 neuroradiology-specific jobs, 55 neuroradiology jobs were academic and 124 jobs were private practice. A higher proportion of private practice jobs required general diagnostic interpretations (83% versus 26%), a higher proportion of academic jobs required neuroradiology procedures (56% versus 31%), and a higher proportion of private practice jobs required general interventional radiology procedures (22% versus 0%). Thirty-nine percent of all neuroradiology-specific onsite jobs required neuroradiology procedures, and 15% required general interventional radiology procedures.
Because there was a sizable difference between general radiology and procedure requirements between academic and private practice positions, tailoring fellowship training for career aspirations of neuroradiology fellows should be considered to adapt to the skills needed for the evolving job market. In the queried timeframe, 61% of neuroradiology-specific onsite jobs did not have a specific procedure skill requirement for job applicants. This article serves as a single snapshot of the job market and its requirements for neuroradiologists, to aid in planning training to meet the needs of employers.
神经放射学的就业市场随着 fellowship毕业生成功参与就业市场所需的技能不断变化。本研究旨在确定研究时间段内神经放射学就业市场雇主需求的基准。
2022 年 8 月 12 日至 12 月 31 日，在美国神经放射学会和美国放射学院的工作委员会上查询神经放射学职位。将职位和要求分为学术与私人执业、普通诊断放射学、全专业神经放射学、混合远程/现场、门诊、住院/急诊、普通介入放射学程序和神经放射学程序。排除标准包括仅神经介入、仅远程、仅儿科、对神经放射学没有偏好以及工作委员会内和之间的重复职位。
在 1777 个总职位中，有 179 个是神经放射学特定职位，其余的是一般职位。在 179 个神经放射学特定职位中，有 55 个神经放射学职位是学术职位，124 个职位是私人执业。私人执业职位需要普通诊断解释的比例较高（83%对 26%），学术职位需要神经放射学程序的比例较高（56%对 31%），私人执业职位需要普通介入放射学程序的比例较高（22%对 0%）。所有现场神经放射学特定职位的 39%需要神经放射学程序，15%需要普通介入放射学程序。
由于学术和私人执业职位之间的普通放射学和程序要求存在很大差异，应考虑为神经放射学研究员的职业抱负调整奖学金培训，以适应不断变化的就业市场的技能需求。在查询的时间段内，61%的神经放射学特定现场工作不需要求职者具备特定的程序技能要求。本文是对神经放射学家就业市场及其要求的单一快照，旨在帮助规划培训以满足雇主的需求。
