- Abstract
The article discusses proposed changes to pediatric radiology training and certification. It highlights the decreasing number of residents applying to and enrolling in pediatric radiology fellowship programs, as well as the increasing demand for pediatric radiologists and rising levels of burnout in the specialty. To address these issues, the American Board of Radiology (ABR) has created a temporary alternate pathway to subspecialty certification that does not require prior fellowship training. The article also explores the possibility of eliminating certain certification requirements and offering an in-residency pathway to certification. The working group recommends continuing the temporary alternate pathway and the subspecialty exam, while opinions are divided on the in-residency pathway.
