Results of the 1992 survey of the American Association of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology.
OBJECTIVE
The authors conducted the annual American Association of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology (A3CR2) survey of chief residents of academic radiology programs to evaluate commonalities and differences among radiology training programs.


METHODS
The surveys were mailed to 125 accredited programs in the United States and Canada. The analysis of the returned surveys took into account the geographic region of the respondents.


RESULTS
Chief residents from 72 training programs (58%) returned their completed surveys. There are important variations among training programs related to requirements for entry, salary, and night call, and how residents prepare for Board examinations.


CONCLUSIONS
The A3CR2 annual survey provides important information for program directors regarding how their training practices might differ from others so that they might better evaluate their programs.
