The COVID-19 pandemic required restructuring of Radiology trainee education across US institutions. While reduced clinical imaging volume and mandates to maintain physical distancing presented new challenges to traditional medical education during this period, new opportunities developed to support our division in providing high-quality training for residents and fellows. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Core Competencies for Diagnostic Radiology helped guide division leadership in restructuring and reframing breast imaging education during this time of drastic change and persistent uncertainty. Here, we reflect on the educational challenges and opportunities faced by our academic breast imaging division during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic across each of the ACGME Core Competencies. We also discuss how systems and processes developed out of necessity during the first peak of the pandemic may continue to support radiology training during phased reopening and beyond.
COVID-19 大流行要求美国各机构重新调整放射科住院医师教育结构。在此期间，临床影像数量减少以及保持身体距离的要求给传统医学教育带来了新的挑战，但也为我们科室提供高质量培训提供了新的机会，以支持住院医师和研究员。美国毕业后医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）的诊断放射学核心能力帮助指导科室领导在这一急剧变化和持续不确定的时期重新构建和重新定义乳腺影像教育。在这里，我们反思了在 COVID-19 大流行高峰期，我们学术性乳腺影像科室在每个 ACGME 核心能力方面面临的教育挑战和机遇。我们还讨论了在大流行的第一波高峰期间出于必要性而开发的系统和流程如何在分阶段重新开放及以后继续支持放射科培训。
