A survey regarding the perceived quality of physics instruction of radiology residents was sent to all radiology programs in 2004. An identical survey was sent to program directors and chief residents. The Presidents of the American Association of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology and of the Association of Program Directors wrote cover letters to accompany the surveys, encouraging the expression of frank opinions in this anonymous survey. This presentation will present the results of the survey and will provide some opinions concerning the meaning of the results. Discussion will include information regarding some recent decisions by the American Board of Radiology as to changes in the grading of the physics exam for residents.
