| Popis: | In a 1999 RadioGraphics article (1) entitled “Revitalizing the Radiology Research Enterprise,” Staab and Brady announced an initiative of the same name by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The Revitalizing the Radiology Research Enterprise (RRRE) is designed to help academic radiology departments strengthen their research infrastructure and clarify their research strategy (2). Our department was one of six elected in 2000 to be surveyed and assisted by the RSNA's RRRE committee. A site visit that year provided a review of our research facilities and programs. In 2001, as a response to the challenge of the RRRE, we established a fully integrated 6-year residency/PhD program. The program combines radiology residency, under the guidelines of the B. Leonard Holman Research Pathway of the American Board of Radiology (ABR), with pursuit of a doctorate degree in radiological sciences. Our program is designed to produce academic radiologists who are proficient in research and competitive for national funding. Herein, we describe the educational structure of the program and its results during its first several years. |
