Hiring of Diagnostic Radiologists: An Update

Refinement of the methodology reported in our article, "Hiring of Diagnostic Radiologists in 1998" [1], has led to reestimates of findings in that study. Our published estimates were that the number of radiologists available in 1998 was approximately 330 fewer than the number of jobs multiradiologist groups sought to fill, and the shortage was approximately 465 if jobs that solo practices sought to fill were counted. Our revised estimate is that the shortage was 500 and 600, respectively.

Other revised estimates are as follows: The total number of jobs that multiradiologist groups sought to fill in 1998 was approximately 2600 (±163), a 23% increase from the revised estimate for 1997. (The published estimate was that the increase between 1997 and 1998 was 20%.) If jobs in solo practices are included, the revised total in 1998 is approximately 2880 (±220). The revised estimate of the total number of radiologists who were in groups and left the profession in 1998 through retirement, death, or for other reasons was approximately 690 (±65); this does not include radiologists who were in solo practice and left the profession.

Our study was based on a sample survey. As our article explains [1], to estimate national totals, we had to weight responses from our sample to make the sample represent all the practices in the United States. At the time our article was published, the latest available tabulation of practices [2] dated from 1995, and we used this data in weighting. A detailed tabulation from 2000 is now available [3]. The reestimates given here are based on a suitable interpolation of the 1995 and 2000 tabulations.
