“…Small group tutorials are an interactive form of teaching with many studies reporting a strong student preference for teaching with interactive case based discussions 13 . Malek et al reported improved enjoyment and concentration with significantly better learning outcomes when using cased based teaching in Radiology 14 . It is clear that educational strategies such as small group teaching, which actively engages students, helps to enhance motivation and foster critical thinking skills 15 .…”

Rationale: Radiology plays an integral role in the diagnosis and management of disease. As diagnostic images are frequently reviewed by junior doctors prior to the formal Radiology report being issued, it is essential that they are armed with the skills to correctly interpret pathological findings, especially out of hours. Effective radiology teaching is of considerable benefit to patients as critical findings are less likely to be missed or misinterpreted. Methodology: Quantitative methods were utilised for data collection. Sampling was purposive as questionnaires were disseminated at the end of the series of small group tutorials. The response rate was 81.4 % (228/280). Findings: The data extracted from this research demonstrated the positive impact the change initiative had on the 228 participants. 91% of postgraduates and 84% of undergraduates rated the small group tutorials as either essential or very helpful. 100% of participants would like more radiology teaching with 85% preferring the small group tutorial format. Worryingly, 85% of junior doctor's and 44 % of undergraduates felt that their radiology training had insufficiently prepared them for the clinical duties of a junior doctor. Conclusion: This research supports the implementation of small group tutorials in radiology into the medical undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum.Diagnostic Radiology plays an integral role in the diagnosis and management of disease. It is regarded by many as the 'eye' of modern medicine with its use and basic interpretation forming a key component of the role of a junior doctor. However, many doctors do not have an appreciation of the appropriate use of radiology, surrounding radiation safety issues or viable alternatives in order to optimise patient care.

“…Several studies have identified factors supporting radiology. An evaluation of the curriculum demonstrated the positive effect of early implementation of radiology in the coursework [4,5]. Likewise, practical training using case studies [6,7] and integrative instruction involving other subjects [5,8] particularly increase students' motivation, thus enhancing the image of radiology among students.…”

“…An evaluation of the curriculum demonstrated the positive effect of early implementation of radiology in the coursework [4,5]. Likewise, practical training using case studies [6,7] and integrative instruction involving other subjects [5,8] particularly increase students' motivation, thus enhancing the image of radiology among students. Due to close personal contact and hands-on activity, a practicum in radiology such as a medical clerkship particularly offers an opportunity to encourage students in a subject area [9,10].…”

ABSTR AC TPurpose Aim of our study was to evaluate the motivation of medical students in their final year of medical school to choose radiology for further specialization by means of a Germany-wide survey. Materials and MethodsThe survey was performed during the 2015/16 semester among German medical students in their four months radiology elective during the final year. Invitations for the study were distributed by the Student Secretariats of each university. The survey was web-based with EvaSys 7.0 software. Questions on radiology contents during medical studies and "practical year" were part of the survey. Plans for residency and possible advantages and disadvantages of radiology as medical specialty were inquired. Descriptive statistics and group comparisons were used as analysis methods.Results 89 students participated in the survey at the beginning and 60 students at the end of the practical year. Of these 39 students could be identified who answered both questionnaires. Most students were satisfied with their final year radiology elective (mean 1.8 on a range from 1 to 5). Nevertheless, they criticized mentoring during routine work (mean 2.1) and a lack of educational courses (mean 2.1). Most students (83 %) were uncertain about their residency choice at the beginning of their "practical year" and about one fifth changed their plans. From the students' point of view main advantages of radiology included contact with many other clinical disciplines (87 %) and the working conditions (68 %). The reduced patient contact (42 %), the large amount of work at a computer (43 %), and the dependency on referring physicians (42 %) were regarded as the main disadvantages. The students regarded the way radiology is taught during the studies as not practical enough. With regard to radiology the majority of students (63 %) felt poorly prepared for their future work. ConclusionThe "practical year" is important regarding the choice of future specialization. There was a high degree of satisfaction with the "practical year" in radiology. The mentoring during routine work and a lack of educational courses was mildly criticized. These factors provide room for improvement to foster students' interest in radiology. Key Points▪ The "practical year" is important regarding the choice of further specialization. ▪ Criticisms of radiology in the "practical year" were mentoring and courses.

“…The utility and efficacy of imaging techniques in delivering anatomy knowledge can be demonstrated to students during this early exposure to radiology (Schober et al, ), thus enhancing their motivation to learn. This can improve their comprehension of important anatomic and radiologic details (Dettmer et al, ) and provide a deeper understanding of the basic sciences (Bhogal et al, ). It can also support their learning of human morphology and physiology (Pascual et al, ) and greatly facilitate their ability to interpret computed tomography (CT) images during the clinical years (de Barros et al, ).…”

Radiology education is a key component in many preclinical anatomy courses. However, the reported effectiveness of radiology education within such anatomy classrooms has varied. This study was conducted to determine if a novel educational method using dynamic images of movies of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was effective in radiology education during a preclinical anatomy course, aided by clay modeling, specific hand gestures (digit anatomy), and reports from dissection findings uploaded to the anatomy course website (digital reports). Feedback surveys using a five-point Likert scale were administered to better clarify students' opinions regarding their understanding of CT and MRI of anatomical structures, as well as to determine if such preclinical radiology education was helpful in their clinical studies. After completion of the anatomy course taught with dynamic images of CT and MRI, most students demonstrated an adequate understanding of basic CT and MR images. Additionally, students in later clinical years generally believed that their study of radiologic images during the preclinical anatomy course was helpful for their clinical studies and clerkship rotations. Moreover, student scores on imaging anatomy examinations demonstrated meaningful improvements in performance after using dynamic images from movies of CT and MRI.
