“…Until recently, only a handful of radiology educators have explored questions relating to how students learn and how to teach effectively. 1 , 2 It is not surprising then that there is little in the radiology education literature exploring these areas of study. This article examines the literature surrounding how radiology is taught and learned by both radiology residents and undergraduates in the health professions because they often share similar needs and use the same resources.…”

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine literature on how radiology is taught and learned by both radiology residents and undergraduates in the health professions.MethodsA review of the literature was performed using relevant key words. Articles were retrieved through December 2012 using PubMed, ScienceDirect, ERIC, Proquest, and ICL databases along with a manual review of references.ResultsOf the 4716 unique abstracts reviewed by the author, 91 were found to be relevant to the purpose of this study. The literature retrieved reported pedagogical approaches to teaching radiology including the following: problem solving, technology as teacher, independent learning tools, visiting lectureships, case based teaching, and conferences. There was some exploration of the relative effectiveness of educational formats. Suggestions for future research identify 7 areas of relative consistency.ConclusionRadiology is a clinical skill that requires integration science, clinical information, clinical experiences, and information recorded on diagnostic imaging studies. The research in this area focuses on problem solving, the use of algorithm/scripts, introducing uncertainty in clinical scenarios, incorporating technology in learning environments, active learning techniques, and methods of independent learning. Although the literature in this area is still in its infancy, the research examining the relative effectiveness of these various educational formats is often contradictory, suggesting that this is a complex area of study with numerous factors influencing student learning.

In a 1999 RadioGraphics article (1) entitled "Revitalizing the Radiology Research Enterprise," Staab and Brady announced an initiative of the same name by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The Revitalizing the Radiology Research Enterprise (RRRE) is designed to help academic radiology departments strengthen their research infrastructure and clarify their research strategy (2). Our department was one of six elected in 2000 to be surveyed and assisted by the RSNA's RRRE committee. A site visit that year provided a review of our research facilities and programs. In 2001, as a response to the challenge of the RRRE, we established a fully integrated 6-year residency/PhD program. The program combines radiology residency, under the guidelines of the B. Leonard Holman Research Pathway of the American Board of Radiology (ABR), with pursuit of a doctorate degree in radiological sciences.Our program is designed to produce academic radiologists who are proficient in research and competitive for national funding. Herein, we describe the educational structure of the program and its results during its first several years. Background Current Standing of Research in Academic RadiologyAcademic radiology faces two major challenges. First, the vitality of our specialty depends on continuing innovation and discovery by research-oriented radiologists. Second, faculty recruitment by academic departments is hampered by limited resources and competition from private practice. These challenges have been attributed to several factors, including the economic restructuring of academic departments (3), the severe salary discrepancy between academic and private practice, increasing barriers to national funding (4), and the lack of research training of most physicians (4-6).Historically, most radiology research has been descriptive (4,7,8 NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript competitiveness in this arena is tied in part to the nature of our residency programs, in which there is little research training (4,7,10-12).Most radiologists in academic departments devote time to an escalating volume of clinical responsibilities, as well as to resident education, and have little time for research (4,5,13). Nonetheless, they face research requirements in university tenure tracks to achieve promotion (4,5,9). Many productive academicians sacrifice their free time for writing and research activities, and, if academicians are not located in large academic centers, they have little aid from statisticians, research associates, or scientist collaborators (4,5,7).These circumstances call attention to the crucial need to sustain the growth of radiology, to compete for national funding, and to maintain scientific standards in research. National Efforts to Strengthen Radiology ResearchThe current movement to strengthen radiology research began more than a decade ago. In 1994, a special National Institutes of Health (NIH)-cosponsored conference was held to address priorities for more than 30 areas of imaging res...

“…In the spring of 1995 Professor Scott Johnson asked “Aren’t the most important questions facing our field related to how students learn and how they can be taught more effectively?” 1 Until recently, only a handful of radiology educators have voiced these questions and pursued meaningful answers. 2 , 3 As a result, little literature examines how radiology is taught, learned, or evaluated at the resident level, and even fewer articles examine undergraduate radiology education specifically. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine literature on how radiologists are trained to be effective educators for both residents and undergraduates in the health professions.…”

Radiologists as Educators: A Narrative Review of the Literature

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine literature on how radiologists are trained to be effective educators for both residents and undergraduates in the health professions. Methods: A review of the literature was performed using relevant key words. Articles were retrieved through from 1990 through December 2012 using PubMed, ScienceDirect, ERIC, Proquest, and ICL databases along with a manual review of references. Results: Of the 4716 unique abstracts reviewed by the author, 51 were found to be relevant to the purpose of this study. Faculty teaching skills seem to be solidified during residency. This may be due to a failure to include scholarship of teaching and learning in education and faculty development. Preliminary research shows that creating opportunity for faculty development is beneficial with much of this literature focused on explaining educational concepts to radiologists. Conclusion: The literature examining faculty training in the area of radiology education is sparse. Several articles address the need for more academic radiologists and the need for better training of academic radiologists. The few articles aimed at providing insight to radiologists in this area introduce basic educational concepts such as lecture creation, examination writing, and learning styles or simply delineating what makes an effective educator.
