The Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has been the greatest challenge faced by the National Health Service (NHS) in its lifetime. The crisis has seen the disruption of many long-held institutions, most critically of which is specialty training. In this article, we discuss the impact of the pandemic on Radiology training in the UK. We explore the methods that have been used to combat these difficulties and suggest workable solutions. As technology platforms become ever more integral to our daily clinical routines, we discuss how these offer a new approach to training. We argue that, of all the medical disciplines, radiologists are best placed to design and implement technology-based training, and lead other specialties in doing so. Whilst the upheaval of traditional approaches to education is a challenge, we propose that this departure from the norm offers exciting opportunities for improvement.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)大流行是英国国民医疗服务体系(NHS)有史以来面临的最大挑战。这场危机导致许多长期存在的机构受到干扰,其中最关键的是专科培训。在本文中,我们讨论了大流行对英国放射科培训的影响。我们探讨了用于应对这些困难的方法,并提出可行的解决方案。随着技术平台在我们日常临床工作中变得越来越不可或缺,我们讨论了这些平台如何提供一种新的培训方法。我们认为,在所有医学学科中,放射科医生最有能力设计和实施基于技术的培训,并引领其他专科这样做。虽然传统教育方式的剧变是一项挑战,但我们认为这种对常规的背离提供了令人兴奋的改进机会。
