title: The High-Performing Radiology Residency: A Case Study.
abstract: The primary goal of any radiology residency program is to train clinically competent radiologists. However, some radiology programs go above and beyond basic ACGME requirements and produce highly productive radiologists who contribute to the field in research, education and technology. At the core of such residencies are the people who comprise it, including self-motivated, personable residents and faculty who can facilitate excellence from their trainees. Indeed, radiology residencies which create unique programs in response to evolving resident interests can help foster resident-driven research, advocacy, technological innovation and early leadership. These unique programs, when interwoven with a strong educational foundation driven by evidence-based learning techniques and informatics-driven evaluation programs, function to produce highly competent clinicians who become leaders in the field.
