OBJECTIVE: To document current postgraduate musculoskeletal training program (accredited and unaccredited) curricula and approaches to education. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: Questionnaires were sent to all musculoskeletal training programs. Responses regarding radiology residency and fellowship program sizes, types of imaging and invasive procedures included, and other program parameters were solicited. Features of accredited and unaccredited programs were compared. Teaching approaches, including the use of web-based or distance learning were evaluated. RESULTS: Twenty-nine (73%) of 40 musculoskeletal programs responded to the questionnaire. Twenty-eight percent of programs were accredited and 72% unaccredited. Radiology residencies were also present at all responding institutions (the majority had a class size of 4-8/year). Residency programs in related specialties included pathology 96%, orthopedics and rheumatology 90%, oncology 83% and pain management 69%. The majority (93-100%) provided training in radiography, MRI and CT. Spine MRI was included in 69% of programs, ultrasonography in 62% and positron emission tomography in 24%. Arthrography and diagnostic and therapeutic injections (100%) were included in all programs. Other invasive procedures, including spine and radiofrequency ablation, were offered less frequently. Teaching approaches included conferences (100%), journal clubs (62%), multidisciplinary conferences (45-90%), web-based learning (30%) and distance learning (7%). Forty-one percent of programs offered off-site rotations. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of musculoskeletal training programs prepared trainees for private or academic practice. There are inconsistencies that could be improved to better prepare trainees for careers in musculoskeletal imaging.

OBJECTIVES: To reply to the following questions: what is the status of the accreditation process and what are the general trends pointed out by the experts-visitors ? METHODS: A study was conducted on the 182 accreditation reports regarding health centres, published by the Anaes from June 2000 to July 2002. A reading scale was developed and data was registered in the database. Statistical analysis first described the hospitals (legal status, location, size, number of sites, presence or lack of technical devices, emergency units, and consultations) and then matched them with the specific parameters of the accreditation process (date of involvement, date of audit, date of the accreditation deliberation, number of experts and visitors and number and type of decisions. RESULTS: The results underlined the most frequent decisions among the 10 referentials of the accreditation process. The patients' case reports and the management of quality and prevention predominated. Recent French laws and the decision of the Anaes to apply these themes in their strategic orientation can explain this. COMMENTS: The large hospital size and multi-sites organisation appeared to be negative elements and justify the apprehension felt by the 'major hospitals'.
