The purpose of this study was to review and revise the undergraduate radiology curriculum at the University of British Columbia to improve radiology education to medical students and to meet the needs of a medical program with province-wide distribution.
We identified the radiology content of the curriculum from the Curriculum Management and Information Tool online database, from personal interviews with curriculum heads, and from published information. Undergraduates' and recent graduates' opinions were solicited by means of surveys. Information on radiology curricula at medical schools across Canada was gathered from email surveys and personal contacts with members of the Canadian Heads of Academic Radiology (CHAR).
Review of our curriculum indicated that lack of a unified syllabus resulted in redundant content, gaps in knowledge, and lack of continuity in the curriculum. Results from the survey of programs across Canada indicated that most schools also lacked a formal radiology curriculum for medical students. By adapting the guidelines from the Association of Medical Student Education in Radiology, we revised our undergraduate radiology curriculum to emphasize integration and self-learning. The modified curriculum includes a combination of instructional technology, focused lectures in preclinical years, and in-context seminars in clerkship rotations.
Most medical schools in Canada do not have a formal radiology curriculum for medical students. A structured curriculum is required to improve the quality of radiology teaching for medical students.
本研究旨在回顾和修订英属哥伦比亚大学的本科放射学课程，以改善对医学生的放射学教育，并满足全省范围内医学项目的需求。
我们从课程管理与信息工具在线数据库、与课程负责人的个人访谈以及已发表的信息中确定课程的放射学内容。通过调查征求本科生和近期毕业生的意见。通过电子邮件调查以及与加拿大放射学学术负责人协会（CHAR）成员的个人联系，收集了加拿大各医学院校放射学课程的信息。
对我们课程的审查表明，缺乏统一的教学大纲导致内容冗余、知识空白以及课程缺乏连贯性。加拿大各项目的调查结果表明，大多数学校也缺乏针对医学生的正式放射学课程。通过采用放射医学学生教育协会的指导方针，我们修订了本科放射学课程，以强调整合和自主学习。修改后的课程包括教学技术的结合、临床前几年的重点讲座以及实习轮转中的情境研讨会。
加拿大大多数医学院校没有针对医学生的正式放射学课程。需要一个结构化的课程来提高医学生放射学教学的质量。
