Description

Radiology Education is an important aspect of medical education as it's paramount for the success of physicians and health care practitioners. Despite its importance, there is a lack in the resources and training activities highlighting the educational science behind proper planning and implantation of radiology education in health specialty colleges. This scientific track is designed to share the wealth of experience and knowledge gained from evidence-based medical education and research activities with the radiology and radiation medicine community through the prestigious gateway of ICRM2020.

Package Component

  • Inter-conference, continuous education workshop for radiology educators
  • Inter-conference, peer-learning based radiology skills workshops for students

How to Approach Reading and Interpreting Common Radiology Modalities:
A Practical Roadmap for Students

Learning Objectives:

  • Discover the basics of imaging modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, and Ultrasound).
  • Examine the approach to identification and interpretation of normal structures in imaging modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, and Ultrasound).‎
  • Identify the approaches to common pathologies (X-rays, CT, MRI, and Ultrasound).
Workshops Series Description: This workshop series aims at equipping students with a systemic approach to identify normal structures and common pathologies commonly encountered in clinical practice. This series will consist of 4 independent workshops, one delivered on each modality, over the span of two days. These workshops will use a mixture of case-based and innovative practical small group teaching methods to assure better student understanding of the topics covered. The highlight of these courses is that they will employ an innovative peer-based education where a group of talented and highly trained senior students will tutor other students under the structured supervision of college faculty.

Timing and Dates: Sunday and Monday (9-10 February 2020). It will be delivered over 2 days in the afternoon session from 1:30 – 5:50 pm (4.5 hours every day, 2 hours per modality). Target Audience:
  • Undergraduate medical and health professional students.
