| Popis: | Rationale and Objectives Recently, the relevance of the postgraduate year 1 (PGY-1) Basic Clinical Year for radiology residents has been questioned. The purpose of this study was to determine the attitude of radiologists and trainees toward this year and which clinical rotations they perceived as most valuable to clinical practice. Materials and Methods Following institutional review board approval, an anonymous online survey was administered to Canadian radiologists and radiology trainees. In addition to reporting demographic information, respondents were asked to rank the usefulness of individual rotations on a five-point Likert scale. To assess whether there are differences in the ratings and therefore rankings of the rotations by gender, position, and level of training, the Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance test was used with significance defined as P Results Of the 275 respondents, 73.1% were male and 47.3% were trainees. A total of 71.3% of respondents were in favor of the basic clinical year, whereas 16.4% opposed. There was a statistically significant difference between the responses of staff radiologists and trainees, with the staff more strongly favoring the Basic Clinical Year (84.1%) than the trainees (56.9%) (P Conclusions Most radiologists and radiology trainees were in favor of completing the PGY-1 Basic Clinical Year. However, programs should maximize the education value of this year by including more of the top-ranked rotations. As the practice of radiology evolves, it is important to ensure that training paradigms continue to prepare residents for independent practice. |
