Abstract

Rationale and objectives: To assess the correlation between US economic cycle and radiology residents' entry into academic vs nonacademic practice models.

Materials and methods: US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data from 2002-2023 identified two discrete economic recessions: the 2008 mortgage crisis and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. An alumni database was created for graduating residents from a large academic tertiary care center 2years prior to, during, and after these recessions: 2006-2012 (n=52) and 2018-2024 (n=58). Fisher's Exact Test compared alumni ratios in academic vs other practice models (ie, private, teleradiology, community hybrid) pre- and post-GDP decelerations.

Results: 35% (6/17) of alumni graduating during the mortgage crisis recession currently practice in academics vs 6% (1/16) who graduated prior to the recession (P=.05). 67% (12/18) of alumni graduating during the COVID recession currently practice in academics vs 35% (7/20) prior to (P=.05). In post-COVID economic expansion, only 25% (5/20) of 2023-2024 graduates practice in or have signed in academics compared to during the recession (P<.05).

Conclusion: There is an inverse relationship between phases of economic growth and graduating radiology resident job placement with academic practices. Understanding economic cycles can help academic practices develop timely recruitment strategies to maintain workforce stability and provide resident mentorship.

经济周期与放射学就业安置的关联：对毕业住院医师招聘和指导的启示。

基本原理和目标：评估美国经济周期与放射科住院医师进入学术与非学术实践模式之间的相关性。材料和方法：2002-2023年美国国内生产总值（GDP）数据确定了两次独立的经济衰退：2008年抵押贷款危机和2020年COVID-19大流行。在2006-2012年（n=52）和2018-2024年（n=58）这三次经济衰退之前、期间和之后两年，为一家大型学术三级医疗中心的毕业生建立了校友数据库。Fisher’s Exact Test比较了在gdp减速前后，学术与其他实践模式（如私立、远程放射学、社区混合）的校友比例。结果：35%（6/17）在抵押贷款危机衰退期间毕业的校友目前从事学术工作，而6%（1/16）在衰退前毕业（P= 0.05）。在COVID经济衰退期间毕业的校友中，67%（12/18）目前从事学术工作，而在此之前，这一比例为35% (7/20)（P= 0.05）。在新冠肺炎疫情后的经济扩张中，与经济衰退期间相比，2023-2024年毕业生中只有25%（5/20）在学术机构实习或签约(PConclusion：经济增长阶段和放射学毕业生实习与学术实践之间存在反比关系。了解经济周期可以帮助学术实践制定及时的招聘策略，以保持劳动力稳定并提供常驻指导。
