Challenges and opportunities in restructuring radiology residencies: the APDR Residency Restructuring Committee report.
Changes to the ABR certification process are imminent, with a core examination after 36 months of training and a certifying examination 15 months after the completion of training replacing the current examination structure for residents entering training in July 2010 and beyond. The Residency Restructuring Committee of the Association of Program Directors in Radiology was developed to analyze the challenges and opportunities of these upcoming changes and provide recommendations to programs. The guidelines included in this article represent a summary of the work of this committee to date.
