Abstract

D iagnostic radiology and its graduate medical education programs are experiencing unprecedented change and uncertainty. Radiologists completing residencies and/or fellowships find securing permanent employment increasingly difficult, and training programs face the prospect of significant reductions in financial support and growing pressure to train fewer specialists. Together, these realities have produced calls to reduce the number of residency positions. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and its Residency Review Committee in Diagnostic Radiology (RRC) are often mentioned as vehicles to accomplish such reductions. Any such action may carry potential antitrust liability under federal law as represented by the Sherman Act.
