title: Midcareer Transition in Radiology: Threat or Opportunity?
abstract: Midcareer job transitions are occurring for many reasons other than individual radiologists' professional performance quality, affability, and desire for geographic change. New causes seem to be related to the present health care environment. All radiologists should be aware of this disruptive change to the profession and of the resources available to help job seekers find new positions.
