Abstrakt: Value to pediatric radiologists Older radiologists, who compose approximately 7% of the radiology workforce [[1]], generally do not want to continue to work late or overnight shifts and would like to work fewer or no weekend days. Traditionally, academic radiology departments are staffed by full-time faculty who provide clinical service and resident/student teaching while pursuing academic and research goals necessary for advancement and promotion. During a 6-month period (September 2019 to February 2020), three senior diagnostic pediatric radiologists and one senior pediatric interventional radiologist participated in a per diem employment arrangement. The total combined salary cost for the three per diem diagnostic radiologists for this period was 38% lower than the total compensation of one typical FTE body radiologist, while the total RVUs generated was only 8.3% lower than the typical FTE radiologist.
