abstract

  • We highlight what we believe are 2 major areas of weakness in current Canadian radiology training programs: insufficient community radiology training and limited preparation of residents for the job market. Although focusing on Canadian radiology programs, we suspect that these are also 2 areas of substantial concern for radiology training programs in the United States and other countries. We offer suggestions to address these deficiencies, particularly by using pre-existing hybrid radiology practices and by making relatively small changes to the current curricula of radiology residency programs.
