Imaging education at Geisel is integrated throughout the 4-year curriculum.\u00a0 The imaging curriculum addresses imaging modality techniques, methods, strengths\/weaknesses, risks, indications, and proper communications to enable students to effectively use imaging in the care of their patients.\u00a0 Students will learn to identify high-quality resources to support appropriate test selection. Students should learn basic interpretation skills for commonly encountered, urgent findings.\u00a0 The required and optional components of each phase are outlined below.<\/p>\n
Imaging Curricular Thread<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Imaging is one of the major Curricular Threads woven throughout the Phase 1 systems based courses and embedded within several of the required Phase 2 & 3 clerkships.\u00a0 Imaging learning objectives are approved by the Medical Education Committee and taught and facilitated by board-certified radiologists.\u00a0 Most courses include education on normal imaging anatomy, imaging techniques, algorithms, risks & benefits, and the pathophysiology of imaging findings in common patterns of disease.<\/p>\n Faculty Director:\u00a0 Nancy J McNulty MD<\/a><\/p>\n Fall and Winter Enrichment Electives<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Faculty leader: Petra Lewis, MD<\/a><\/p>\n Up to 8 students per session.\u00a0 \u00a0This elective includes:<\/p>\n Imaging Curricular Thread<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Many of the imaging learning objectives have been integrated into the clerkship experiences, to facilitate clinically relevant and timely learning. \u00a0Aquifer Radiology Cases<\/a> are required on several rotations, including internal medicine, neurology, general surgery, and the acute care medicine clerkship. These cases are interactive, focused, and address multiple imaging objectives including imaging algorithms, risks & benefits, communications, and screening.<\/p>\n Specific Clerkships<\/p>\n Internal Medicine<\/em>:\u00a0 During internal medicine, an aquifer case on COPD and thoracic vascular disorders is required.\u00a0 There are also 3 'Chest X-ray' sessions that were developed by the clerkship directors with input from the imaging team.<\/p>\n Surgery<\/em>:\u00a0 Imaging rounds is an interactive session that occurs during the surgery clerkship which is led by a radiologist and addresses communications, imaging algorithms and image interpretation strategies relevant to surgical disease. An aquifer case on the colon and small bowel is required.<\/p>\n Advanced Ambulatory Medicine<\/em>:\u00a0 Students are required to complete a locally developed learning module on breast imaging and breast cancer screening with formative questions at the end.<\/p>\n Acute Care Medicine<\/em>:\u00a0 On this clerkship, two aquifer cases will be required, one on chest infections and chest imaging in the ICU, and the other on chest trauma.\u00a0 There is one didactic imaging session to reinforce content in the cases.<\/p>\n Electives<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Radiology has a wide variety of electives, briefly described below.\u00a0 For the full description, you can access any elective manual here: latest manuals<\/a>.\u00a0 All radiology electives are available for phase 2 students after completion of their first clerkship.<\/p>\n Elective administrator:\u00a0 Elizabeth Roberts\u00a0<\/a> 603-646-5407<\/p>\n\n
