Reshaping Radiology Precall Preparation: Integrating a Cloud-Based PACS Viewer Into a Flipped Classroom Model

Area of Science:

• Medical Education
• Neuroradiology
• Graduate Medical Education

Background:

• Effective resident preparation for the on-call experience is crucial in Radiology training programs.
• Traditional methods include case conferences, lectures, workstation teaching, and precall assessments.
• The flipped classroom model is gaining traction in graduate medical education.

Purpose of the Study:

• To apply the flipped classroom model to resident precall education in Neuroradiology.
• To evaluate resident perceptions of this novel educational approach.
• To describe the structure, implementation, and web-based platform used.

Main Methods:

• Implementation of a flipped classroom curriculum for Neuroradiology precall education.
• Surveying resident participants to gather feedback on their perceptions.
• Detailed description of the educational structure, implementation process, and web platform.

Main Results:

• The study details the application and structure of the flipped classroom model.
• Resident perceptions of the course were collected via surveys.
• The web-based platform facilitating the flipped classroom is described.

Conclusions:

• The flipped classroom model offers a novel approach to resident precall education in Neuroradiology.
• This method can be effectively structured, implemented, and supported by web-based platforms.
• Further evaluation of resident perceptions informs educational strategies.
