"Virtual Radiology Workstation": Improving Medical Students' Radiology Rotation
Tanvir Rizvi1, Nicole J Borges2
1Neuroradiology Division, University of Virginia Health, 1215 Lee Street, Charlottesville, VA 22908 USA.
Background:
Radiology education in clinical clerkship is increasingly important. There is an acute need for active engagement and self-directed learning by medical students rotating in radiology compared with mainly observational current learning practice involving shadowing in the reading room.
Activity:
"Virtual Radiology Workstations" supplemented by PowerPoint presentation of normal radiologic anatomy were introduced for fourth-year medical student radiology electives.
Results And Discussion:
All 18 students were satisfied with this new teaching model and agreed their understanding of imaging procedures, and recognition of basic anatomic structures improved. It also resulted in efficient utilization of both the teachers' and the students' time.
