A new study from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute reveals that attrition rates among radiology subspecialists have increased from 2014 to 2022, with significant disparities among different subspecialties. The research, published in the American Journal of Roentgenology, analyzed data from 159,490 radiologist-year observations and found an average attrition rate of 2.2%. Cardiothoracic imaging had the highest attrition rate of 4.3%, while vascular/interventional radiology had the lowest at 1.0%. Factors such as years of practice and gender were also noted to impact attrition, with male academic subspecialists projecting a career length 1.1 years longer than females. The study emphasizes the need to understand the drivers behind these attrition rates to address workforce sustainability in radiology.
