Declining Interest in Pediatric Radiology Prompts a Call to Action

Diagnostic radiology training has undergone considerable evolution over the past 5 years. As the number of available jobs for new radiologists waned in the early part of this decade, the proportion of graduates who opted for fellowship rose to  95% [1]. Not all radiology subspecialties, however, have equally benefited from these increases in fellows. Although there are cyclical ebbs and flows in fellowship desirability, pediatric radiology is the only subspecialty in which resident interest incrementally decreased from 2013 through 2017 [2].
