PURPOSE: To determine characteristics associated with differences among radiologists in professional satisfaction and the effect of satisfaction on career plans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The American College of Radiology surveyed 2,804 radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists in the United States. Single-variable and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS: Sixty-five percent of radiologists were currently satisfied with their profession; 31% were more satisfied than they were 5 years ago, 32% felt the same, and 37% were less satisfied. Current satisfaction was most likely for radiologists with a diagnostic radiology subspecialty, board certification, age over 45 years, an academic practice, a salaried position, a full-time practice, urban location, and location in the West. Professional satisfaction relative to that 5 years ago was particularly high for (among others) young radiologists. Poorly satisfied radiologists were more likely to plan a career change and eventual part-time work. Female radiologists were as satisfied as males. CONCLUSION: This study identifies sources of radiologists satisfaction and dissatisfaction and effects of satisfaction on career plans. |
