According to new research from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute, radiologists who teach residents are spending significantly less time each year in that teaching role. The study, published today in the Journal of The American College of Radiology, tracked the workload of 35,595 radiologists in Medicare Part B claims data from 2008 to 2020. As a percentage of total clinical workload measured in relative value units, work that involved resident training dropped from 35.3% in 2008 to 26.3% in 2019. In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S., the teaching share of work dropped further to 24.5%.

The study also revealed notable gender differences in experiences.
