Resumo
Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the personal and professional lives of radiology
trainees. The purpose of this study was to broadly summarize the impact COVID-19 on
radiology trainees and their training programs via data collected during the early pandemic.
Materials and Methods: An online survey was distributed to radiology chief residents in
residencies throughout North America with responses collected between March 20th, 2020 and
May 15th, 2020, which coincided with the development of initial COVID-19 peaks in North
America. A subset of COVID-19 pandemic questions included resident wellness, imaging
opinions, residency infrastructure change, and opinions regarding the Core Exam delay.
Results: 140 chief residents from 86 institutions responded to COVID-19-related questions.
Nearly all responding programs (99%; 85/86) reported institutional positive cases of COVID-19.
Most residents (94%; 132/140) thought laboratory testing provided more value than imaging.
57% of respondents (80/140) would use COVID-19-related terminology when encountering
chest CT findings supportive of viral pneumonia in symptomatic patients. There was little
reported change in the number of residents on call (no change reported in >80% of programs).
59% of residents (83/140) reported increased stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The
majority of programs (93%) had fewer residents on service (80/86 responding programs).
Conclusions: COVID-19 dramatically affected radiology residencies during the early pandemic
period. As we enter future phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, careful thought should also be
given to rebuilding the radiology resident experience.
