Identifying Barriers to Building a Diverse Physician Workforce: A National Survey of the ACR Membership.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify potential barriers to building a diverse workforce in radiology and radiation oncology by conducting a national survey of physicians in these fields and studying their reported career experiences.

Methods: An electronic survey of ACR members (February 27, 2018, to April 26, 2018) was conducted in which physicians' attitudes about their work environment, relationships, and culture were queried. The aim was to determine if responses differed by gender or race/ethnicity.

Patient Navigation to Improve Cancer Screening in Underserved Populations: Reported Experiences, Opportunities, and Challenges.

Despite numerous advances in the early detection of cancers, many patients still present with advanced disease. A disproportionate number are low-income minority patients who experience worse health outcomes than their white or more financially stable counterparts.
