    Abstract Abstract Introduction These objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) cases were developed because we were unhappy with the current state of traditional radiology clerkship multiple-choice exams. The goal was to be able to use a more objective measure for evaluation of students on the radiology rotation. One of the critical educational objectives is for students in the radiology clerkship to become more familiar with radiology reports. As most students will not become radiologists, this experience will allow future ease of incorporating information from radiology reports into their patient's care. These cases have been developed with joint involvement of multiple members of the radiology faculty including the current clerkship coordinator, as well as the vice chair of education in radiology who has over 25 years of experience in medical student and resident education. Methods These nine OSCE cases each involve a short clinical scenario and a radiologic exam with an associated grading sheet. Each OSCE case has five open-ended questions designed to simulate a radiologic report. Each case also has a specific checklist for which points can be assigned to each correct answer. Each case attempts to assess whether students can understand straightforward radiology cases and essentially answer questions analogous to the different sections of the radiology report, including pertinent history, positive and negative findings, differential diagnosis, and recommendations. Results These OSCE cases have been used at the Boston University School of Medicine for research purposes and will now be part of the formal evaluation system Discussion These cases improved medical student evaluation in the radiology clerkship so that we could rely less on multiple-choice exams. These OSCE cases not only allowed us to test basic radiologic knowledge, but allowed us to give more specific formative feedback for students. This is important because the radiology clerkship tends to be more of a combination of didactic lectures and an ...

    Abstract Abstract This resource for medical students is a 4-year curriculum covering modality/specialty-specific areas that they should be exposed to. It includes anatomy, radiology pathology, risks, and imaging algorithms within each area, as well as curriculum resources, web-links, suggestions for implementation, example goals, and the “must see” image shortlist. It is designed for the general medical student population (i.e. not specifically those going into radiology). It is not designed for any one particular clerkship or elective period, but can be adapted depending on the resources and time available. This curriculum was initially developed in 2005 and is still the only national comprehensive curriculum for medical students learning radiology. It has been used in whole or part by multiple Alliance of Medical Student Educators in Radiology members and others to develop or improve their curricula. Three presentations at the 2009 Association of University Radiologist meeting referenced this curriculum. The “must see” list has been adopted by several student educators to make electronic resources of various types.

    Abstract Abstract Introduction This resource contains the tools to create an enlarged three-dimensional anatomic model of the heart and coronary vasculature (originally derived from a CT scan) that can be used to teach imaging anatomy. This model contains multiple parts that can be constructed by students to reinforce anatomic relationships that were learned in their anatomy courses. This model was developed for medical students in a radiology clerkship, but could easily be used for teaching in courses ranging from undergraduate anatomy to resident training. The construction methodology shown in this module could easily be applied to any cross-sectional dataset to build larger-than-life anatomically correct models of other parts of the body at minimal cost. Methods This guide includes a detailed laboratory exercise for the coronary vasculature designed for medical students and junior-level residents. A similar model-building exercise can be developed from any cross-sectional dataset to produce inexpensive teaching models. The total cost of materials to construct this model is under $100. Results Since implementation of the first of these interactive labs in 2009, all medical students at Boston University Medical School have participated and many have filled out optional surveys regarding the experience that show a high level of satisfaction and particular value to the model building exercise. The technique has been published in a paper in the Anatomy Education Literature and has been presented locally at several medical education forums. Discussion After the last presentation at the Boston University main campus, a health educator took the idea to develop their own model building session regarding genitourinary anatomy for students learning about sexually transmitted diseases. The ability to build inexpensive models that are large enough for constructive learning is very attractive to educators in many areas.

    Abstract Introduction High breast density is an independent risk factor for breast cancer and can decrease the sensitivity of mammography. However, evidence surrounding recommendations for patient risk stratification and supplemental screening is evolving, and providers receive limited training on breast density counseling. Methods We implemented an introductory, interactive workshop about breast density including current evidence behind supplemental screening and risk stratification. Designed for providers who counsel women on breast health, this workshop was evaluated with internal medicine providers, primary care residents, and radiology residents. We surveyed participants about knowledge and attitudes at baseline, postintervention (residents and providers), and 3-month follow-up (providers only). We compared baseline and postintervention scores and postintervention and 3-month follow-up scores using paired t tests and McNemar's tests. Results Internal medicine providers had significant gains in knowledge when comparing baseline to postintervention surveys (6.5–8.5 on a 10-point scale, p < .0001), with knowledge gains maintained when comparing postintervention to 3-month follow-up surveys (p = .06). Primary care and radiology residents also had significant gains in knowledge when comparing baseline to postintervention surveys (p < .004 for both). All learner groups reported increases in their confidence regarding counseling women about breast density and referring for supplemental screening. Discussion Through this breast density session, we showed trends for increased knowledge and change in attitudes for multiple learner groups. Because we aim to prepare providers with the best currently available recommendations, these materials will require frequent updating as breast density evidence and national consensus evolve.
