“…To understand the individual needs of young radiologists and thus improve residential training in radiology, the Young Radiology Forum (Forum Junge Radiologie) and the German Radiological Society (Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft, DRG), supported by the German Society of Interventional Radiology and Minimally Invasive Therapy (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Interventionelle Radiologie, DeGIR), conducted a survey of radiology training conditions in Germany in 2018 [11]. While international radiological societies acknowledge the importance of dedicated analyses of interventional radiology training [8,[12][13][14], no such investigations exist so far in Germany.…”

Introduction With the increasing need for minimally invasive procedures based on lower complication rates, higher patient acceptance, and technical developments, there is a growing focus on the sound interventional training of young radiologists. This survey aimed to analyze the current situation in interventional radiology (IR) training in Germany to detect shortcomings and identify areas for improvement. Materials and Methods From November 1–30, 2020, an online questionnaire was distributed to representative radiological associations and societies with the request to forward it to radiology residents and radiologists < 40 years. The 44 questions covered six distinct areas from personal working conditions to the characterization of the IR department, training conditions, role of women in IR, and attendance at congresses/external training. Results A total of 330 participants completed the questionnaire. 77 % of participants expressed a high interest in IR, and 47 % could even imagine subspecializing in interventional radiology. Most institutions provided the necessary learning conditions and infrastructure. The rate of overall satisfaction with IR training conditions was 45 % (vs. a dissatisfaction rate of 39 %). However, females showed a lower satisfaction rate with their training environment than male participants (28 % vs. 51 %; P = 0.06). Positive correlations with work satisfaction were found for the presence and duration of the IR rotation, the number of partly independently/mentored performed interventions, and structured feedback. Moreover, the need for a structured training curriculum was expressed by 67 % of participants. Conclusion Radiological residents and young radiologists expressed a high interest in interventional radiology, and they rate the infrastructure of German hospitals regarding IR as sufficient. However, they expressed the need for consistent IR rotations and better-structured resident and postgraduate education (curricula & interviews). Key Points: Interest in interventional radiology among radiological residents and young radiologists in Germany is high, but satisfaction with interventional radiology training leaves room for improvement. The most frequently mentioned aspects that can improve IR training were Citation Format

“…13,14 Interestingly, from 2015 to 2020, TY programs have shown remarkable growth in the United States, increasing by 74% from 101 to 176 programs, with a concomitant 71% increase in the number of positions from 842 to 1436. 6,15 However, only a handful of articles address various TY program topics, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and none have addressed the needs of unmatched medical students as a program mission. There is also little research on the career trajectories of TY graduates or how many residents complete a TY program as a precursor to an advanced position intentionally versus other reasons.…”

Background The transition to residency is competitive with more medical students applying for residency positions than slots available, and some will face challenges securing a position in their desired specialty. Our institution created a transitional year (TY) residency program in 2016 to help meet the needs of our medical students who did not initially secure a position in the main residency Match. Objective This report provides a brief overview of the TY program and analysis of the program's value from the inaugural 3 years (2017–2020). Methods The TY program is based at a midsized, urban, academic health center and features a tailorable curriculum emphasizing preparation for residents' specialty career plans. We used participatory action research and appreciative inquiry strategies as part of the annual program evaluation to examine TY residents' perceptions of the program's value. Stakeholder perceptions were also elicited from a purposive selection of 4 program directors and 2 key medical school education leaders. Results Internal evaluations revealed a high rate of resident satisfaction with the TY program and self-reported benefits such as increased confidence, clinical proficiency, and professional enculturation. Stakeholders valued the program as a potential pipeline for increasing physicians in the state and providing valuable direction to students' career trajectories. Conclusions Creating a TY residency program to meet the needs of unmatched medical students was feasible to implement, acceptable to residents in meeting their academic and career needs, and provided a sustainable institutional solution with benefits to multiple stakeholders.
