“…Inadequate training in communication skills has been acknowledged by physicians as a major factor contributing to burnout [8]. With physician burnout being such an epidemic, training radiologists in effective communications skills may not only benefit the patients, but the physicians' job satisfaction as well [8,9]. One limitation of the study is that we did not measure if the radiologists communicated better with the patients after the workshop than before, as this is quite cumbersome to do.…”

The purpose of this project is to teach radiologists who perform image guided interventions effective communication skills. Complaints related to communication errors between Radiologists and patients during interventional procedures are not uncommon. Communication for Radiologists performing IR procedures can be challenging since they are meeting the patient for the first time on the day of the procedure. Good communication skills are important to foster a good doctor/patient relationship, which can improve clinical outcomes and even decrease litigation [1]. There is growing emphasis on communication skills/patient centered care in radiology [2]. This is evident given the American College of Radiology's Imaging 3.0 initiative in which the radiologist went from being only involved in reading, dictating, and transcribing the imaging study to being involved in the entire imaging process from initial consult to conveying the results of the imaging study to the patient or clinician. Simulation has been used to allow doctors to practice their communication skills in a safe setting and get

“…Current practice environments may also contribute to increasing levels of physician burnout. Studies suggest that 75% of all physicians are now employed by large organizations such as academic medical centers, health maintenance organizations, large practice groups and hospitals (32). Several authors have stated that an ineffective, outdated, and dominant hierarchical leadership paradigm may be a contributing source of burnout among radiologists (28,32).…”

Several authors have stated that an ineffective, outdated, and dominant hierarchical leadership paradigm may be a contributing source of burnout among radiologists (28,32). An ascendant medical bureaucracy coupled with drives toward commoditization, market consolidation, and cost containment may contribute to low physician morale (28).…”

“…Loss of professional autonomy can contribute to burnout. Lack of control over daily clinical schedule, on call responsibilities, work pattern and vacation schedule may lead to decreased satisfaction with work life balance, and thereby contribute to work-related stress (28,32,(34)(35)(36)(37).…”

“…An unintended, unfortunate negative effect of PACS has been the substantial decrease in the face-to-face and telephone consultations between referring physicians and radiologists (38). This resultant increase in isolation of radiologists from other health care professionals may potentially contribute to a low sense of personal achievement and increased depersonalization (29,32).…”
