Introduction

Radiology is a rich learning area, not only for students interested in becoming a radiologist but for all students who, as third-year medical students and later as interns will be required to learn about imaging studies in each of their core rotations and throughout their career.

Resources and Ideas

• Participate in radiology sessions during callbacks if available
• Review films of patients and present your findings on any core rotation
  • log these experiences or
  • write them up as H&Ps SOAP notes
  • write about
    • why radiology tests were ordered or not
    • how the cost or availability of other resources impacted the choice of test
    • what the outcome was of ordering the test
• Spend a day or several days/weeks in a reading room with a radiologist
• Prepare and deliver a presentation
• Participate in Dr. Pera’s radiology elective if available
• Participate in creating or delivering the imaging training for OMS I and II
• Online resources to use
  • Update, or other online texts through the TUCOM eLibrary
  • Access Medicine cases through the TUCOM eLibrary
  • Radiopaedia.org
  • Aquifer core cases
• Pocus Resources
