title: Workload and sources of remuneration for radiologists at a tertiary-care teaching hospital in Ontario.
abstract: Detailed information about workload and sources of remuneration for radiologists at a large tertiary-care teaching hospital was reviewed for the calendar year 1991 as part of an assessment of medical professional resources. Radiologists at this facility worked an average of about 50 hours per week. When the intensity of the cases was taken into consideration, there was only a small variation among individual radiologists in terms of workload and income earned for the group. Ninety-three percent of the radiologists' remuneration came as payment for clinical patient care. The radiologists were poorly remunerated for the time they spent teaching, conducting research and performing administrative duties, but this low level of remuneration was partially compensated by the activity of senior residents, who did some work without supervision.
