| Abstract: | Detailed questionnaires were sent to the 192 members of the American Association of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology (A3CR2) to learn about the logistics of chief resident selection, the responsibilities of the chief resident, the attitudes and perceptions of the chief resident about his or her position, and suggestions for improving the chief residency. Completed questionnaires were returned by 149 (78%) chief residents from 111 different residency programs. The results show that radiology residents have a greater voice in selecting their chief residents than in the past. The number and types of responsibilities given to the chief resident at different institutions vary considerably. Although only 62% of respondents felt that being chief resident was worth their time and effort, 88% would accept the position again. The most commonly voiced suggestion was for greater input from the chief resident during the formulation of policies that affect the residents. Based on these results and a review of previous reports about the chief residency in other specialties, several proposals are offered for increasing the effectiveness of the radiology chief residency. © Lippincott-Raven Publishers. |
