Radiological clerkships as a critical curriculum component in radiology education

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this research was to explore the perceived value of clinical clerkships in the radiology curriculum as well as the impact of radiology clerkship on students’ beliefs about the profession of radiology as a whole and as a career.MethodsThis study is a sequel to a previous survey in which student perceptions about radiology curriculum components were investigated. The present study focuses on a further analysis of a subsection in this study, based on 14 statements about radiology clerkship and two statements about radiology as a career.ResultsPerceived usefulness of the aspects of radiology clerkship as “radiology examination”, “skills development” and “diagnosis focus” were awarded the highest scores. The predict value of the subscale “radiology examination” on the level of performance was very high (adjusted R2 = 0.19, p < .001).ConclusionStudents expressed highly favorable evaluation of clerkship as a learning environment to lear Read more...

PACS outside radiology

AbstractPACS technologies, which have been led by the high demands of radiology, are now being applied to other image data generating and using specialities. Conversely the way in which non-radiological clinical specialists wish to actively use radiological images in their developing clinical practices is a challenge which will lead to some perceptive changes in radiology. This paper gives a brief overview of this rapidly developing situation and discusses the role of radiology in the imaging continuum which is emerging.

Original articleLeadership2015 RAD-AID Conference on International Radiology for Developing Countries: The Evolving Global Radiology Landscape

AbstractRadiology in low- and middle-income (developing) countries continues to make progress. Research and international outreach projects presented at the 2015 annual RAD-AID conference emphasize important global themes, including (1) recent slowing of emerging market growth that threatens to constrain the advance of radiology, (2) increasing global noncommunicable diseases (such as cancer and cardiovascular disease) needing radiology for detection and management, (3) strategic prioritization for pediatric radiology in global public health initiatives, (4) continuous expansion of global health curricula at radiology residencies and the RAD-AID Chapter Network’s participating institutions, and (5) technologic innovation for recently accelerated implementation of PACS in low-resource countries.

A Call to Action for Medical Student Mentoring by Young Radiologists

The diagnostic radiology match process has become less competitive over the past 5 years, and fewer U.S. medical students are choosing to pursue careers in diagnostic radiology. The current composition of the diagnostic radiology residency applicant pool reflects this change. Although many possible explanations exist for the decreased interest in radiology, all radiologists should have a vested interest in ensuring that radiology continues to attract the best and brightest medical students. Young and early career radiologists are in a particularly unique position to connect with medical students, and can have substantial effect on recruiting the brightest medical students into radiology. The purpose of this article is to review why young radiologists are vital to this recruitment and mentoring process, and provide multiple simple ways to advocate for radiology and share our passion for radiology with medical students.

Innovations in Academic Radiology ProgramsBalancing the Three Missions and the Impact on Academic Radiology

The three missions of academic radiology compete with one another for time and funding. Revenue for the clinical mission often subsidizes education and research. Given the internal and external drivers/pressures on health care and, more particularly, on academic health centers, the current model is unsustainable. Trends seen in other industries are entering academic health care. The radiology department of the future will need to be more efficient with increasingly fewer resources while meeting its missions at higher levels of expectation.

Residency training data: What do the numbers tell us?

AbstractThe Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) regularly collects data on accredited residency programs that are useful for purposes of comparing resident demographics, turnover rates of program directors, and trends in program numbers and accreditation status. These data show that there are relatively fewer women in radiology residencies compared with other nonsurgical residencies. Women make up only 25% of core radiology residents. Further investigation is warranted to determine why this is so, because it will likely affect the ability to recruit female radiologists into leadership positions. Considering ACGME-accredited programs, those radiology subspecialties with the highest percentages of female trainees are pediatric radiology (45%) and nuclear radiology (44%). The turnover rate of radiology program directors is high (19%) relative to other specialties (14% on average), and this is being addressed in part by a change in the radiology program requirement Read more...

Original articleTurf Wars in Radiology: The Future of Radiology Depends on Research—And on Your Support of It!

The private practice radiology community relies on academic radiology departments to (1) do research and make advances in imaging science, (2) justify reimbursement for those advances, and (3) train new generations of radiologists. This has been largely a one-sided arrangement, with the academic departments footing the bill and the private practice community deriving the benefits and pretty much getting a free ride. But academic radiology is facing a crisis, and the research productivity of our specialty is in jeopardy. Leadership in research is a crucial element in the effort to keep out untrained and inexperienced physicians from other specialties who are largely motivated by the desire for profit. Better support from private practice radiologists is badly needed to help their academic colleagues maintain that research leadership.
