Impending Doom: Is There a Forthcoming Critical Shortage of Pediatric Radiologists and What Changes Can Be Made?

Purpose or Case Report: The number of pediatric radiology fellows has been in decline since 2013-2014. About forty-four percent of programs are currently without fellows. With an additional forty percent of pediatric radiologists expected to retire within 10 years, the current shortage is expected to worsen as only 20 percent of pediatric radiologists are under the age of forty-five. We review literature to determine trends amongst current pediatric radiologists, the factors which impact fellowship choice, additional areas of outreach by the ACR, and common misconceptions about the specialty. The purpose of this educational exhibit is to give an overview of issues hindering growth of the specialty and explore options for improving fellowship recruitment.
