| Popis: | Background The radiology trainee on-call experience has undergone many changes in the past decade. The development of numerous online information sources has changed the landscape of opportunities for trainees seeking information while on-call. In this study, we sought to understand the current on-call information seeking behaviors of radiology trainees. Methods We surveyed radiology fellows and residents at three major metropolitan area academic institutions. Survey topics included demographic information, on-call volumes, on-call resource seeking behaviors, preferred first and second line on-call resources and rationale for particular resource usage. Results A total of 78 responses from trainees were recorded, 30.5% of the entire surveyed population. 70.5% of trainees preferred Radiopaedia as their first line resource. 26.9% of trainees preferred StatDx as their second line resource. 75.6% of respondents preferred their first line resource because it was easiest and fastest to access. 70.3% of respondents assigned a rating of 4 out of 5 when asked how often information they look for is found while on-call. There was a statistically significant difference according to gender (p = 0.002) with a higher percentage of males listing Radiopaedia as their first line resource compared to females. Discussion The radiology trainee on-call experience is influenced by various factors. Over the past decade, online resources, particularly the open access resource Radiopaedia and the paid service StatDx, have overwhelmingly become the preferred first and second line options, as demonstrated by our study results. |
