[Apprenticeship in radiology at the University Hospital Center in Grenoble: research on the most effective methods]

From analyses of strengths and weaknesses of the apprenticeship of radiology in France, of existing pedagogic methods, of time constraints within clinical settings and of scientific theories of teaching and learning, the authors define objectives that teaching should target and propose a new method of instruction problem and practise-based. The method appears applicable in French radiology departments.
