Work From Home in Academic Radiology Departments: Advantages, Disadvantages and Strategies for the Future.

ABSTRACT

To achieve necessary social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic, working from home was introduced at most if not all academic radiology departments. Although initially thought to be a temporary adaptation, the popularity of working from home among faculty has made it likely that it will remain a component of radiology departments for the long term. This paper will review the potential advantages and disadvantages of working from home for an academic radiology department and suggest strategies to try to preserve the advantages and minimize the disadvantages.
