Hiring talented radiologists is hard. Retaining them is critical.

In a study of annual practice separation rates, researchers found 41% of all radiologists left at least one job within 4 years.[1] And it’s only getting worse.

Fewer radiologists, bigger workloads, and growing demands for imaging make this the most competitive hiring market we’ve ever seen. That’s why it has never been more important to attract and retain radiology talent to your practice.

Give your practice the competitive edge it needs with our 10 tips that can help you overcome hiring challenges, keep your team engaged, and foster growth opportunities:

  1. Offer competitive compensation packages: Radiologists are in high demand and can often choose from multiple job offers. Offering a competitive salary and benefits package can help attract top talent to your practice and make it stand out.
  2. Create a positive work environment: To attract and retain radiologists, it’s important to cultivate a positive and supportive work environment. As radiologists spend a significant amount of time at work, they value an atmosphere of open communication, teamwork, and a culture of positivity. By fostering these elements, you can create a work environment that radiologists will enjoy and want to be a part of.
  3. Provide opportunities for professional development: Radiologists want to continue learning and growing in their careers. Offer opportunities for continuing education, training, workshops, and professional development to keep your radiologists engaged and motivated.
  4. Offer flexible scheduling: Many radiologists have families and other commitments outside of work. Offer flexible scheduling options, such as part-time or remote work, to accommodate their needs and attract top talent.
  5. Invest in technology: Radiologists want to work with the latest technology and equipment. Investing in new technology and equipment can help attract radiologists who are interested in staying current in their field and keeping their skills up-to-date.
  6. Provide mentorship: Many radiologists are looking for guidance and mentorship from experienced radiologists. Provide mentorship opportunities to attract radiologists who are looking to connect with and learn from experienced professionals.
  7. Offer opportunities for leadership: Radiologists want to advance in their careers and be recognized for their contributions. Offer opportunities and a defined career path for leadership and management roles to attract radiologists who are looking for career growth.
  8. Promote a healthy work-life balance: Radiologists want to have a balance between their work and personal lives. Promote a healthy work-life balance and offer benefits that support this, such as paid time off, professional development stipends, and wellness programs.
  9. Listen to feedback: Radiologists want to be heard and valued. Listen to feedback from your radiologists and take action to address their concerns. This will show them that their opinions matter and will help retain them in the long run.
  10. Promote your practice: Radiologists want to work for a reputable practice. Promote your practice through a mix of marketing, networking, public relations, and reputation management to attract radiologists who are looking for a respected and well-regarded practice to work for.

The first “on call” experience can be daunting for any resident in a new emergency department, but it can be particularly challenging in a high-pressure environment like Florida’s. However, by focusing on key objectives such as developing confidence in assessing life-threatening neuro diagnoses, delivering high-quality imaging services, and accurately interpreting imaging cases most commonly seen in emergency care, residents can prepare themselves for success.

In this case study, we will explore how one Residency Program in Florida overcame these challenges and successfully proposed appropriate next steps for patient care related to likely diagnoses.
