The Radiology Job Market

Good News and Bad News for Residents

Ferris M. Hall

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School Boston, MA 02215

I enjoyed the two articles [1, 2] and editorial [3] in the October issue of AJR regarding the radiology job market. As a resident advocate and residency director for 30 years I have witnessed several of these "sinusoidal swings in demand for radiologists" [3]. I agree with Dr. Rogers [3] that a sellers' market particularly adversely affects academic departments attempting to recruit fellows and junior faculty. Unfortunately, the brunt of resident and student teaching usually falls on these younger faculty members.

As these cycles repeat themselves, I remind the residents that they there is both good and bad news. When jobs are plentiful, as is the case today: the bad news is their training has probably suffered. On the other hand, in a buyers' market when jobs are less plentiful, most student teaching and residency training programs are flourishing.
