Name of journal: Clinical imagingAbstract: DISCUSSION: Our results indicate that majority of job postings for musculoskeletal radiology require a practice that is not specifically limited to MSK, mirroring trends in other radiology subspecialties. Radiology trainees and program directors should be aware of the needs being demanded by the job market to help guide trainees to individualize their training to best meet the needs of their future employment.

All rights reserved.METHODS: Utilizing the ACR (American College of Radiology) Career Center, a review of the ACR job postings began 6/1/2018 focusing on jobs labeled as musculoskeletal (MSK) subspecialty. E-mail notifications from the career center were reviewed, and jobs were tracked prospectively for 1 year. Data was collected regarding the number of positions, the location, the practice type, and required skills both within musculoskeletal radiology and within the remainder of the radiology subspecialties.OBJECTIVE: To review current musculoskeletal (MSK) job market postings to define the listed requirements for practice in order to provide insight to guide residents pursuing fellowship training in MSK radiology to best meet the needs of potential future employers.RESULTS: 456 postings met the inclusion criteria. Approximately 19% were for a dedicated MSK radiologist, 25% sought a combination of MSK and a general skill set, and 56% were specifically for a general radiologist position. Approximately 29% of jobs require some combination of mammography and/or light interventional radiology (IR).All authors: Amber I, Flug J, Hoffmann JC, Nellamattathil M, Weiss SOriginally published: Clinical Imaging. 61:54-57, 2020 Jan 15.Fiscal year: FY2020Digital Object Identifier:
