“…Other literature studies have also demonstrated an improvement in the student's attitude toward radiology after positive radiologist-delivered education. [6,34] This gives us the idea that promoting education via active learning and practical methods can induce a positive response from the students. Despite this, the increasing demands for time slots in the curriculum would make it difficult for radiologists to give interactive and active lectures.…”

Radiology has become a fundamental constituent of the modern medicine. However, it has been observed that medical students in Pakistan often lack sufficient guidance and education in this field. This study aims to establish whether Pakistani medical students possess the requisite basic knowledge required in radiology and their attitude and perception toward radiology as a potential career path. This cross-sectional study conducted a survey among 530 medical students of Pakistan via a self-reported online questionnaire from August 01, 2021 to September 01, 2021. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS software, along with logistic regression analyses to identify factors associated with interest in pursuing radiology as a career and possessing a comprehensive understanding of radiology among medical students. Of the 530 participants, 44.2% rated their understanding of radiology as “poor” with only 17% indicating interest to pursue a career in radiology. Logistic regression model showed significantly higher odds of radiology as a career among males (Crude odds ratio [COR] = 1.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.17–2.72, P = .007), medical students of Punjab (COR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.01–2.40, P = .048), and those, who self-reported their knowledge of radiology as excellent (COR = 14.35, 95% CI = 5.13–40.12, P < .001). In contrast, medical students from Punjab (COR = 0.504, 95% CI = 0.344–0.737, P < .001) and second-year medical students (COR = 0.046, 95% CI = 0.019–0.107, P < .001) had lower odds of good knowledge. Our study suggests that the medical student’s knowledge of radiology is deficient. Thus, it is advised that radiological societies work with medical school boards to integrate thorough and early radiology exposure into the undergraduate curriculum.
