Diagnostic radiology training for medical students - a Brazilian multicenter survey

Abstract

Horvat et al. aimed to assess radiology training during medical school in Brazil. They demonstrated radiology is an important subject from the medical students' perspective; however, their radiology training was heterogeneous. Ultimately, the results may guide national entities to optimize medical school radiology education programs.

Introducing the Radiology Rotation-Model-22 in Clerkships: The RRM-Pocket Card for Medical Students – Part 1

“…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). Different SR are an excellent chance to explore manifold medical questions.…”
