ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this study is to assess the status and perception of work from home (WFH) in three academic musculoskeletal radiology divisions. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

A 17-item anonymous online survey related to WFH was administered to all musculoskeletal (MSK) faculty (n = 27) of three academic radiology divisions between April and July 2023. Survey items included demographics, clinical work environment, presence of a WFH policy, number of days WFH and desired WFH days, commute, perceived benefits and drawbacks of WFH, and symptoms of burnout. Statistical analysis included the Cochrane-Armitage trend test and Fisher exact test. The study was exempt from IRB approval.

RESULTS:

The survey response rate was 85% (57% men, 57% white, 57% established career, defined by > 10 years in practice). In 47%, an informal policy allowed WHF on certain rotations including moonlighting/call. Seventeen percent had no opportunity to WFH. WFH 1-2 days/week was reported in 73% of respondents while 27% did not WFH. None of the respondents worked from home more than 2 days/week. Women worked from home more compared to men (p = 0.02). Perceived advantages of WFH included efficiency (no commute/parking) (76%), flexibility (52%), autonomy (33%), and increased productivity (29%). Fifty-seven percent preferred in-person read out particularly for first year trainees, with 52% preferring a virtual or hybrid model.

CONCLUSION:

WFH is common in academic MSK practices and perceived to be beneficial to MSK faculty. These findings should be taken into consideration when designing WFH policies.
