Confronting the US’s Highly Uneven State-by-State Distribution of Diagnostic Radiology Residency Positions. Academic Radiology, 26(11), 1562–1564. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acra.2019.07.023https://hdl.handle.net/1805/23215The state-by-state distribution of diagnostic radiology residency positions is important for several reasons. The location in which residents train is positively correlated with their eventual practice location, and states with relatively few residents may have greater difficulty meeting needs for radiology services ( 1 ). The presence of residents can also enrich the educational experiences of other learners such as medical students, but this is less likely to happen when residents are in short supply ( 2 ). Finally, because residency training programs can promote a culture of inquiry, a dearth of residents may undermine intellectual engagement within a professional community ( 3 ).enPublisher Policydiagnostic radiology residency positionsgeographic distributionresidency training programsArticle
