“…This was also a commonly mentioned aspect in the study by Oechtering and colleagues and has just recently been developed by the Young Radiology Forum, the DeGIR, the DGNR, and the DRG. It will be interesting to see whether the introduction of the curriculum impacts the structure of education within the departments and leads to increased satisfaction in the future as anticipated by both study participants and the literature 8 11 22 23 . The curriculum can also be used to promote the (partly) independent execution of interventions by residents, which also correlated with satisfaction.…”

“…Also, many radiologists consider the work-ing environment more stressful due to emergency situations, potential complications, and the physical strain caused by long procedure times and wearing radiation protection equipment. Therefore, developing the necessary resilience and the mentioned core competencies places unique demands on residential and postgraduate training [7,8]. Repeated radiation exposure and the necessary work time flexibility due to participation in interventional emergency care are further demanding factors, which may influence subspecialization choice and potentially strain job satisfaction [9,10].…”

Introduction With the increasing need for minimally invasive procedures based on lower complication rates, higher patient acceptance, and technical developments, there is a growing focus on the sound interventional training of young radiologists. This survey aimed to analyze the current situation in interventional radiology (IR) training in Germany to detect shortcomings and identify areas for improvement. Materials and Methods From November 1–30, 2020, an online questionnaire was distributed to representative radiological associations and societies with the request to forward it to radiology residents and radiologists < 40 years. The 44 questions covered six distinct areas from personal working conditions to the characterization of the IR department, training conditions, role of women in IR, and attendance at congresses/external training. Results A total of 330 participants completed the questionnaire. 77 % of participants expressed a high interest in IR, and 47 % could even imagine subspecializing in interventional radiology. Most institutions provided the necessary learning conditions and infrastructure. The rate of overall satisfaction with IR training conditions was 45 % (vs. a dissatisfaction rate of 39 %). However, females showed a lower satisfaction rate with their training environment than male participants (28 % vs. 51 %; P = 0.06). Positive correlations with work satisfaction were found for the presence and duration of the IR rotation, the number of partly independently/mentored performed interventions, and structured feedback. Moreover, the need for a structured training curriculum was expressed by 67 % of participants. Conclusion Radiological residents and young radiologists expressed a high interest in interventional radiology, and they rate the infrastructure of German hospitals regarding IR as sufficient. However, they expressed the need for consistent IR rotations and better-structured resident and postgraduate education (curricula & interviews). Key Points: Interest in interventional radiology among radiological residents and young radiologists in Germany is high, but satisfaction with interventional radiology training leaves room for improvement. The most frequently mentioned aspects that can improve IR training were Citation Format

Introduction Interventional radiology (IR) is a rapidly developing speciality where innovation—especially in teaching practices—is vital. With workforce and capacity shortages, synthesis of classical educational theories and novel strategies utilising virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) provide opportunities to make teaching as efficient and effective as possible. The aim of this review is to examine the literature on different approaches in IR teaching and learning in undergraduates and postgraduates. Methods Literature was reviewed using a comprehensive search strategy with relevant keywords. Articles were limited to 2013–2023. Databases searched included MEDLINE, Embase, British Education Index and ERIC, in addition to a manual review of references. Results Of the 2903 unique abstracts reviewed by the authors, 43 were relevant to the purpose of this study. The major pedagogical approaches identified were categorised into the following—traditional master-apprentice mentoring, virtual reality/simulation, physical models, and remote teaching. VR simulations enable practise free from the limits of time and risk to patients, as well as potential for standardised formal curricula. AI has the capability to enhance training simulations and assessment of trainees. With recent events necessitating innovation in online remote teaching, programs that are accessible whilst arguably imparting just as much clinical knowledge as in-person education have now been developed. Conclusion Mentoring has conventionally been the standard for radiology teaching, however there are now several alternative pedagogical approaches available to the IR community. A combination of the most effective ideas within each is the optimal method by which IR should be taught.
