Purpose
Introduction/Background
Inadequate involvement of radiology residents in research during core training has been reported in Europe and North America [1,2],
and approximately 41% of radiology residents are not satisfied with the research opportunities available to them [3].
The involvement in research of radiology trainees in Europe is approximately 39% [4],
and the rate of publications authored by radiology trainees can be as low as 19% [5].
This inadequate involvement of radiology trainees in academic activities may result in lower department research productivity [6],
and in decreased interest in continuing an academic career after completion of training [7].
Main perceptive barriers to research during radiology training have been investigated in Canada [8].
Purpose
To identify barriers to academic practice (research and teaching) during the core training of radiology trainees with an interest in thoracic and cardiovascular imaging.
