| Goals & Objectives |
| Students will work with radiology residents and faculty members rotating through several different specialties in accordance with their interests. For purely diagnostic rotations, students are expected to observe residents, faculty and fellows as they read cases and participate in sign-outs with faculty members. Students may be asked to research and present a short presentation on a topic of their choosing based on an interesting case they see during their rotation. They are encouraged to avail themselves of basic didactic resources such as ACORE during their rotation so they can more meaningfully participate in the discussion of exam interpretation. Students are not expected to demonstrate proficiency in image interpretation as an objective of this course. However, they should begin to have a foundational knowledge for the aspects of Radiology that have broad application within medicine, such as appropriate utilization of imaging resources, the told of the radiologist in the healthcare team, and a basic understanding of different study modalities including their strength and limitations. For students choosing to rotate through the IR department, they will participate in the morning huddle and rounds, perform patient consents and observe and participate in basic procedures to their and the Faculty's comfort level, based on demonstrable competency over the course of the experience. |
| Description of course
activities |
| During each 4 week Preceptorship, students will be assigned to rotate through at least 4 different clinical sections of radiology, including Interventional Radiology, and observe/participate in the daily clinical activities including image interpretation and sign-outs. Students are encouraged to attend noon case conferences to further their clinical experience and to avail themselves of available resources suited to their level of experience. |
