The purpose of the present study is to determine in what way a conventional versus a modern medical curriculum influences teaching delivery in formal radiology education.
A web-based questionnaire was distributed by the ESR to radiology teaching staff from 93 European teaching institutions.
Early exposure to radiology in pre-clinical years is typically reported in institutions with a modern curriculum. The average number of teaching hours related to radiology is similar in both curriculum types (60 h). Radiology in modern curricula is mainly taught by radiologists, radiology trainees (50%), radiographers (20%) or clinicians (17%). Mandatory clerkships are pertinent to modern curricula (55% vs. 41% conventional curriculum), which start in the first (13% vs. 4% conventional curriculum) or second year of the training (9% vs. 2% conventional curriculum). The common core in both curricula consists of radiology examinations, to work with radiology teaching files, to attend radiology conferences, and to participate in multidisciplinary meetings.
The influence of a modern curriculum on the formal radiology teaching is visible in terms of earlier exposure to radiology, involvement of a wider range of staff grades and range of profession involved in teaching, and radiology clerkships with more active and integrated tasks.
• This study looks at differences in the nature of formal radiology teaching.
本研究旨在探讨传统与现代医学课程在何种程度上影响正式放射学教育中的教学实施。
ESR 通过网络向 93 家欧洲教学机构的放射学教学人员发放了一份在线问卷。
在采用现代课程的机构中，通常在临床前阶段较早接触放射学。两种课程类型的放射学教学总时数相似（60 小时）。现代课程中的放射学主要由放射科医生、放射科住院医师（50%）、放射技师（20%）或临床医生（17%）教授。与传统课程（41%）相比，现代课程（55%）更注重必修实习，这些实习通常在培训的第一年（13%）或第二年（9%）开始。两种课程都包含共同的核心内容，包括放射学检查、使用放射学教学档案、参加放射学会议以及参与多学科会议。
现代课程对正式放射学教学的影响体现在更早地接触放射学、更广泛的教职员工参与教学以及更积极和综合的放射科实习任务。
• 本研究着眼于正式放射学教学性质的差异。
