A prospective cross-sectional study assessing teaching of interventional radiology across 20 Australian medical schools, endorsed by the Australian Medical Students Association

Abstract: Background Existing literature from around the world has shown that teaching of Interventional Radiology (IR) to medical students remains suboptimal. Despite calls for improvement at a “grass-roots” level, most IRs find that junior doctors have limited or no knowledge of IR, and thus reduced awareness of potential IR treatments for their patients or contemplating IR as a future career. The aim of this study was to survey current medical students to assess perception of whether a wider variety o… Show more

“…As future medical doctors of any specialty, students should know imaging's central place in medical care, the fundamentals for full body and organ imaging, reading cases in emergencies, evaluating disease stages and prognoses, how to be involved in surgical management with interventional procedures, and know when to consult a radiologist for diagnosis, patient treatment and follow-up (Rahim & Ros, 2016;Creagh et al, 2021;Clements et al, 2022;Li & Brown, 2023). Students can explore SR to learn about multiple imaging exams according to indications or contraindications, case reading and reporting, and clinical questions (Petsch et al, 2021).…”

“…With busy work schedules, radiologists, and radiographers expect students to learn their way around during SR. If teaching time is limited due to disruptions, complexity, and challenging encounters in patient care, and with specialists rotating across departments, valuable learning experience in the reading room is limited for students (Naeger et al, 2013;Petsch et al, 2020;Rizvi & Borges, 2020;Clements et al, 2022). This is where the RRM-pocket card can help to keep track of performed tasks, such as performing a pre-ultrasound scan of the kidney before drainage of a kidney abscess, pre-measuring findings in ultrasound scans, e. g. of kidney cysts, ovarian cysts in the US department; or in mammograms in the MG department, e. g. of breast cysts (benign), breast tumors (malignant); or presenting patient cases on benign and malignant findings after attending related MTB (see Appendix B).…”

“…They should apply diagnostic imaging knowledge from the curriculum to case interpreting and reporting during radiology's everyday clinical practice (Rahim & Ros, 2016). Educating staff want and need students to efficiently get familiar with diagnostic and interventional imaging as a preparation for future medical practice (Murphy et al, 2014;Clements et al, 2022;Li & Brown, 2023;Wade et al, 2024). Clerkships in radiology take place alongside patient care and patient management with an increasingly high workload.…”

“…While the specialty is immensely diverse to begin with, one of the teaching roles is to get students familiar with different imaging exams and techniques in diagnostic and interventional radiology, as these prospective medical doctors will inevitably come across imaging in the course of their own medical practice (Oancea et al, 2013;Clements et al, 2022;Li & Brown, 2023;Wade et al, 2024). Overlapping with almost every medical specialty, thus performing diagnostic and interventional exams to decide on a variety of clinical questions, and performing radiological imaging for therapies, radiology is central and indispensable to patient management at hospitals and medical offices (Gunderman et al, 2003;Naeger et al, 2013;Chew et al, 2021;Simelane et al, 2021;Lynch et al, 2022;Horvat et al, 2023).…”
