Stress on medical education caused by COVID-19 has prompted medical schools to bar their students from onsite education at hospitals and clinics, limiting their educational experiences. Radiology is uniquely positioned to be a virtual rotation during this health crisis and beyond.
To implement virtual radiology clerkships and evaluate educational outcomes.
We developed virtual radiology clerkships using best practices from adult education theory; emphasizing self-directed and interactive learning through recommended reading materials, pre-recorded lectures, video conferencing, web-based learning modules from the ACR, as well as multimodality radiology resources to allow students flexibility in their individual approach to the subject matter.
The mean performance on standardized exams for our cohorts was 75% (range 50-96%), matching the national average of 75%. Surveys of medical students after the clerkship showed positive subjective feedback on the content and structure of the course.
Understanding of medical imaging is vital for student doctors to have a better understanding of applied anatomy, patient care strategies, appropriate use, and image interpretation. Radiology is uniquely positioned to be taught in a virtual format, or in a combination of online and in-person activities. Standardized examination performance for our institutional virtual radiology clerkships is comparable to performance on traditional courses. Virtual clerkships designed with adult learners in mind can help student doctors prepare for residency and future independent practice as they build knowledge and skills needed to provide high quality patient care.
新冠疫情给医学教育带来压力，促使医学院禁止学生在医院和诊所进行现场教育，限制了他们的教育体验。放射科在这场卫生危机及以后特别适合进行虚拟轮转。
实施虚拟放射科实习，并评估教育成果。
我们借鉴成人教育理论的最佳实践，开发了虚拟放射科实习；强调通过推荐阅读材料、预录讲座、视频会议、ACR 的基于网络的学习模块以及多模态放射学资源进行自我指导和互动学习，使学生在学习主题时具有个体方法的灵活性。
我们的两个实习队列的标准化考试平均成绩为 75%（范围为 50-96%），与全国平均水平 75%相匹配。实习结束后对医学生进行的调查显示，他们对课程内容和结构的主观反馈是积极的。
学生医生对医学成像的理解对于更好地理解应用解剖学、患者护理策略、适当使用和图像解释至关重要。放射科特别适合以虚拟形式或在线和现场活动相结合的方式进行教学。我们机构的虚拟放射科实习的标准化考试成绩与传统课程的成绩相当。为成人学习者设计的虚拟实习可以帮助医学生为住院医师和未来的独立实践做好准备，因为他们可以建立提供高质量患者护理所需的知识和技能。
