Carpe Diem: An opportunity for the ABR to support its trainees with family-friendly policies

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the radiology and radiation oncology communities with previously unprecedented challenges. Many of these challenges have exacerbated long-standing issues, which disproportionately affect women in radiology and radiation oncology specialties. We applaud the American Board of Radiology (ABR) for adapting and effectively restructuring the ABR Core and Certifying examinations for diagnostic radiology [1], the oral certifying examinations for radiation oncology [2], and the initial certifying exams with oral component for medical physics [3] to virtual environments in the 2020 –2021 academic year.
