We sought to determine (1) whether United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores predict academic productivity in neuroradiology fellows as measured by publications and citations, and (2) what factors predict such productivity. ⋯ The best predictors of whether a graduating neuroradiology fellow will publish and have high citation rates is prior publication record, a PhD degree, and staying in academics. USMLE scores and evaluations during the fellowship were inversely correlated with publication measures of academic productivity.
