Effective Research Mentoring of Radiology Residents

Mentoring systems are now common in most radiology residencies. A resident may have multiple mentors for different purposes, such as research, ethical issues, and career planning. The mentoring relationship that pertains to research and publication of medical literature can be mutually advantageous to both the faculty and resident. Residents can achieve their first radiology publication or presentation, and the faculty mentors can defer the tedious data collection to their residents. Many residents, especially those without aspirations for academic radiology, will only participate in a single project to fulfill program and ACGME requirements.
