Restructuring Radiology Clerkship to Promote Active Learning.

We read with great interest the article by Farmakis and colleagues entitled “Mandatory radiology education for medical students ( 1 Farmakis SG Chertoff JD Straus CM Barth RA Perspective: mandatory Radiology education for Medical Students. Acad Radiol. 2022; S1076-6332 (PMID: 36414495): 00579-00587https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acra.2022.10.023 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (1) Google Scholar ).” In this article the authors very well illustrate the importance of radiology education during medical school and propose a well-organized and flexible model of radiology curriculum development with suggestions on strategies for implementation ( 1 Farmakis SG Chertoff JD Straus CM Barth RA Perspective: mandatory Radiology education for Medical Students. Acad Radiol. 2022; S1076-6332 (PMID: 36414495): 00579-00587https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acra.2022.10.023 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (1) Google Scholar ). Two of the several important considerations and reforms proposed by the authors include: 1) Adoption of more active learning methods during core clerkship, and 2) Strong emphasis on optimal imaging utilization as a part of the curriculum.
