Abstract

The purpose of this article is to describe a step-by-step approach to the successful mentorship of trainees completing retrospective radiology research projects. The topics addressed include selection of a mentor and mentee and the selection, planning, initiation, and completion of a retrospective research project. Mentoring a trainee in the completion of a retrospective research project is an ideal way to introduce a trainee to academics. The goals of such a project given the time constraints of radiology residents include completion of an educational exhibit, an oral scientific presentation, and a published manuscript.
