There is increasing concern regarding the decreasing number of graduates from pediatric radiology fellowships. In this educational exhibit, we will explore the numbers concerning medical students, residency applications, and fellowship application trends to identify underlying issues and to consider solutions. Using data available from the AAMC, ACR, and SPR, we will convey the status of overall applications to radiology and several fellowships with a focus on pediatric radiology and consider diversity issues. Trainee survey results will also be presented to discuss aspects of our field which can be used to bolster recruitment strategies. For over twenty years, diagnostic radiology has consisted of approximately 25% women, though the percentage of female pediatric radiologists is larger. Data also suggest that more female radiologists are minorities in comparison to men. Additional approaches to improve recruitment and retainment of a diverse workforce is crucial and will also be discussed. Read More
