“…While various night float models exist, the system implemented at the University of Toronto aimed to minimize the number of overnight calls and to comply with duty hour restrictions. Night float call systems have been met with mixed opinions among trainees [5][6][7][8][9][10] ; questions have been raised about quality of life, 8 fatigue, 11,12 wellbeing, 13 and continuity of patient care. 9 To date, no studies examining the perceptions of night float call among an obstetrics and gynaecology resident group or attending obstetricians have been published.…”

“…In both cases, the attending is rarely called for help, which makes the residents' role vital in patient management. Once they become a PGY3, and after satisfactory completion of required educational modules and readiness tests, they can serve as the upper level resident to the PGY2 [1]. In many academic institutions, diagnostic radiology residents are often the only physicians responsible for night radiology coverage, generating preliminary reports of examinations that will not be reviewed and finalized until the next day by the attending radiologist.…”

The Time Has Come: a Paradigm Shift in Diagnostic Radiology Education via Simulation Training

Current radiology training for medical students and residents predominantly consists of reviewing teaching files, attending lectures, reading textbooks and online sources, as well as one-on-one teaching at the workstation. In the case of medical schools, radiology training is quite passive. In addition, the variety of important and high-yield cases that trainees are exposed to may be limited in scope. We utilized an open-source dcm4chee-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) named "Weasis" in order to simulate a radiologist's practice in the real world, using anonymized report-free complete cases that could easily be uploaded live during read-outs for training purposes. MySQL was used for database management and JBOSS as application server. In addition, we integrated Weasis into a web-based reporting system through Java programming language using the MyEclipse development environment. A freeware, platform-independent, image database was established to simulate a real-world PACS. The sever was implemented on a dedicated non-workstation PC connected to the hospital secure network. As the client access is through a webpage, the cases can be viewed from any computer connected to the hospital network. The reporting system allows for evaluation purposes and providing feedback to the trainees. Brief survey results are available. Implementation of such a low-cost, versatile, and customizable tool provides a new opportunity for training programs in offering medical students with an active and more realistic radiology experience, junior radiology residents with potentially better preparation for independent call, and senior resident and fellows with the ability to fine-tune high-level specialty-level knowledge.
