Academic radiology
-
The purpose of this study was to survey academic radiology departments to determine how emergency radiology coverage is handled and whether there are any prerequisites for those individuals providing this coverage. ⋯ These results can serve as the basis for discussion and comparison with other institutions regarding a variety of aspects of emergency department coverage.

Members of the Society of Chairmen of Academic Radiation Oncology Programs (SCAROP) were surveyed in November 1997 to evaluate the current status of radiation oncology training in the United States and to help determine how it should be carried out in the coming decade. ⋯ There is a shortage of academic radiation oncologists in the United States despite the large number of radiation oncologists completing training. This probably is due to a variety of factors, including a relatively small pool of candidates for academic positions, increasing demands for performance from academic physicians (to see more patients, perform research, publish, write grants, and teach), and competition from the private sector for recruitment of these individuals.
