These authors questioned neuroradiology fellowship programs about the availability of “critical findings” lists and, if available, how these are distributed to trainees and whether they were vetted by corresponding clinical departments. Over one-half of programs responded and 41% had such lists. The lists were distributed during orientation, sent or made available electronically, and posted in work areas. Less than 25% of lists were developed with input from other departments. The most common entities found in the lists were: brain hemorrhage, acute stroke, cord compression, brain herniation, and spine fracture.
