To determine what demographic, professional, and practice characteristics are related to the amount of time radiologists work per week, to their allocation of time among professional activities, and to their plans for retirement.
The American College of Radiology surveyed 2,804 radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists. Means and percentiles were calculated for the radiologists' number of hours and days worked per week, number of weeks away, percentage allocation of time, and retirement intentions. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were performed.
Full-time, post-training radiologists worked a mean of 50 hours per week. Radiologists spent 2 weeks on professional education and 4.4 weeks on vacation each year. On average, 68% of professional time was spent on hospital patient care; 18%, on office patient care; 7%, on teaching and research; and 5% on administration. Forty-one percent of radiologists planned to eventually work part-time; 47% intended to retire fully.
These data will provide an important baseline for modeling the future size of the radiologist workforce and for assessing changes in the ways radiologists use their time and plan their futures.
确定哪些人口统计学、专业和执业特征与放射科医生每周的工作时间、他们在各项专业活动中的时间分配以及他们的退休计划有关。
美国放射学会对2804名放射科医生和核医学专家进行了调查。计算了放射科医生每周的工作小时数和天数、休假周数、时间分配百分比以及退休意向的均值和百分位数。进行了多元线性和逻辑回归分析。
完成培训后的全职放射科医生平均每周工作50小时。放射科医生每年花2周时间进行专业教育，4.4周时间休假。平均而言，68%的专业时间用于医院患者护理；18%用于门诊患者护理；7%用于教学和研究；5%用于行政管理。41%的放射科医生计划最终从事兼职工作；47%打算完全退休。
这些数据将为模拟未来放射科医生劳动力规模以及评估放射科医生利用时间和规划未来方式的变化提供重要的基线。
