Academic Neuroradiology: 2023 Update on Turnaround Time, Financial Recruitment, and Retention Strategies [CLINICAL PRACTICE]

SUMMARY:

The ASNR Neuroradiology Division Chief Working Group's 2023 survey, with responses from 62 division chiefs, provides insights into turnaround times, faculty recruitment, moonlighting opportunities, and academic funds. In emergency cases, 61% aim for a turnaround time of less than 45–60 minutes, with two-thirds meeting this expectation more than 75% of the time. For inpatient CT and MR imaging scans, 54% achieve a turnaround time of 4–8 hours, with three-quarters meeting this expectation at least 50% of the time. Outpatient scans have an expected turnaround time of 24–48 hours, which is met in 50% of cases. Faculty recruitment strategies included 35% offering sign-on bonuses, with a median of $30,000. Additionally, 23% provided bonuses to fellows during fellowship to retain them in the practice upon completion of their fellowship. Internal moonlighting opportunities for faculty were offered by 70% of divisions, with a median pay of $250 per hour. The median annual academic fund for a full-time neuroradiology faculty member was $6000, typically excluding license fees but including American College of Radiology and American Board of Radiology membership, leaving $4000 for professional expenses. This survey calls for further dialogue on adapting and innovating academic institutions to meet evolving needs in neuroradiology.
