Radiology Medical Student Education 2020: Surveys of the Alliance of Medical Student Educators in Radiology and Medical Students

A Narrative Review on Quality Improvements for Radiology Clerkships from Medical Student

“…Instead, they focused on assessing students' ongoing perceptions and suggestions for improvement of radiology electives via qualitative surveys. 2,11,22,30 One editorial was included as it provided additional perspective to some of the challenges and mindsets that students have during a radiology elective. 4 The 5 reviews provided summaries on various topics, including recommendations on how to structure radiology electives in the context of student values, 9,13,30 current novel teaching methods that are well received by faculty, 32 and various challenges that are experienced by radiology educators.…”

Postgraduate oncology educational shifts during the COVID-19 pandemic: results of faculty and medical student surveys

“…A total of 64% of the faculty enjoyed online teaching, although 82% (69%, for students) preferred on-site courses whereas 62% of students felt an online radiology course was an excellent alternative to an on-site rotation. 12 …”

Return to the Reading Room: Implementation of a Hybrid Radiology Clerkship Model after Emergent Conversion to Remote Learning in the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…9 Existing clinical experiences, including radiology electives 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 and clerkships, 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 had to emergently restructure, with medical educators forced to balance the constraints of COVID-19 mitigation policies with the requirements of undergraduate medical education. 20 Our institution suspended second-year (i.e., the core clinical year) medical student participation in direct patient care activities on March 17, 2020. Our Department of Radiology rapidly transitioned from an in-person to a remote learning clerkship model, which was later converted to a hybrid model incorporating both in-person and remote learning components ( Table 1 ).…”

“…While numerous studies report positive learning outcomes within COVID-19-driven virtual radiology rotations, several emphasize the student- and faculty-perceived value of live instruction and the importance of in-person education in the reading room. 10 , 11 , 15 , 16 , 20 Few, however, provide concrete guidance on the next best steps for “post”-COVID radiology curricula. Blended learning models, or the balanced integration of in-person and technology-assisted (i.e., e-learning) environments, offer a promising approach.…”
