A survey of Canadian residents in diagnostic radiology.
This survey of English-speaking Canadian residents in diagnostic radiology was conducted to assess the factors motivating their choice of specialty, their workload, their degree of job satisfaction and their expectations upon completing the residency program. Partial or complete replies were received from 109 of the 223 eligible residents. Many of the respondents (46 of the 84 who answered the question) had seriously considered radiology as a career during medical school, and 91 of the 109 respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with their residency programs. However, it is possible that those who were dissatisfied did not respond. The information from this survey should be particularly useful to those considering a residency in diagnostic radiology.
