“…The number of radiologists trained in pediatric radiology is progressively declining and call burden has been shown to contribute to burnout through high emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Opportunities to shift practice from the upper GI series requiring on-site physician support to US utilizing remote physician support could help address the pediatric radiology shortage by improving the call burden for pediatric radiologists [22][23][24].…”

“…This concern is likely justified as radiology resident surveys of factors influencing fellowship choices found that "the degree of patient contact", "the degree of personal interaction with other doctors" and "enjoyable rotations during residency" were among the top factors in fellowship selection by the pediatric radiology subgroup. 43,44 These findings are of particular interest given the concern for declining interest in pediatric radiology in recent years. 45…”

To investigate how COVID-19 has impacted pediatric radiology practice around the world at the present time. Materials and Methods This study was based on a survey conducted by the World Federation of Pediatric Imaging (WFPI) COVID-19 task force. Pediatric radiology representatives from countries around the world were identified and asked to complete an electronic survey consisting of 17 questions related to the impact of, concerns surrounding, and education related to COVID-19 on pediatric radiology. For each outcome variable, a pair of 2-way frequency tables was constructed: one against COVID-19 prevalence, and another against region. Tests of independence of the tables' row and column factors were performed based on Fisher's exact test and odds ratios (OR) were estimated via logistic regression models corresponding to these 2-way tables. Results The survey (response rate 87%, 72/83) comprised representatives from 71 countries and Hong Kong across 6 continents. 66/72 respondents (92%) indicated that COVID-19 has resulted in moderate (21/72, 29%), significant (36/72, 50%), or complete (9/72, 13%) change in radiology departments/practices in their countries. The two most frequent concerns over the next four months were personal/family health (54/72, 75%) and exposure (48/72, 67%). 79% (57/72) of respondents indicated some level of discomfort in identifying pediatric COVID-19 imaging I n p r e s s manifestations. Changes in resident education were reported by 68/72 (94%) respondents, and 22/72 (31%) were concerned that the likelihood of current trainees pursuing a career in pediatric radiology will be impacted. Conclusion COVID-19 has had a substantial negative impact on pediatric radiology practice around the world.

“…For the 2019-2020 academic year there were approximately 140 unique new pediatric radiology job postings on the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR) website, an increase from approximately 100 in 2016-2017 [1]. Despite this, the number of pediatric radiology fellows has declined since participation in accredited pediatric radiology fellowships peaked in 2013 [2], with interest in pediatric radiology reaching a 6-year low in 2019 [3]. We discuss the trends in the pediatric radiology workforce and how they relate to interest in pediatric radiology fellowships [3].…”

“…The SPR and American College of Radiology (ACR) job boards demonstrate 50% and 60% increases in the number of available pediatric radiology jobs since 2017 [4]. Despite this high demand, pediatric radiology only represents about 5.5% of the radiology workforce [2].…”
