Radiology resident call schedules in the US vary significantly. Most night call duties are concentrated in the second year, with fourth-year residents taking on less responsibility.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Radiology Residency Training

Background:

  • Resident call is a fundamental component of radiology training.
  • Understanding current practices is essential for program improvement and resident well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gather data on resident call practices across U.S. radiology programs.
  • To enable program comparison and identify alternative approaches to call structures.

Main Methods:

  • A 30-question survey was distributed to program directors of accredited U.S. radiology residency programs.
  • Follow-up mailings were conducted for non-respondents.
  • The survey covered call timing, frequency, nature, and support systems.

Main Results:

  • 81% of program directors responded to the survey.

  • Significant variability was observed in the amount and type of call taken by residents.
  • Mean in-house call days per month varied by residency year (e.g., 3.3 for second-year residents).

    • Conclusions:

    • Night call in U.S. radiology residency programs is highly variable, with a peak in the second year.
    • Fourth-year residents typically have reduced call responsibilities, particularly before board examinations.
    • While generally satisfied, program directors identified areas for improvement in their call systems.
