Impact of ABR Changes on Pediatric Radiology Residency Training

Seven percent of residency programs plan to cut back the overall number of pediatric radiology core rotations and move them to earlier in training (20%). Although 82% of programs said that they plan to provide more time in areas of interest, 57% said that it is very unlikely or impossible that residents could accumulate ≥12 months in an area of interest. It is possible that funding may limit access to additional pediatric rotations in up to 44% of programs. Seventeen of the programs did not know how their institution funded pediatric radiology rotations.
