Email: mary.ali@med.nyu.edu
Prerequisites: Any One Core Clerkship
Description:
This is a four week elective offered to all third and fourth year medical students as an introduction to diagnostic imaging and invasive radiologic procedures. The program offers a survey of general radiology and radiologic subspecialties with a series of didactic sessions given by the faculty. The course is highly structured occupying the day from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM. The first two hours in the morning are directed to clinical rotations where the student can observe patient examinations, the working interpretive sessions and the interface of radiology with the referral services. At 11:00 AM there is a daily lecture for the students covering the multi-specialties of radiology. The mid day Radiology Teaching Conference, a resident format, is elective for student attendance. The afternoon is structured in learning formats of small group exercises, problem based learning, diagnostic algorithms, and assigned cases for student work-up.
Objectives of the Elective:
The general radiology elective is structured to provide an overview of the breadth of diagnostic imaging, invasive radiology and an introduction to the fundamentals of diagnostic radiology. The objectives of the general diagnostic radiology elective are as follows:
- The medical student will develop an appreciation of the complexity of diagnostic
imaging including an understanding of the types of studies which are available
and the information they can provide. The students will also gain an understanding
of the clinical indications for obtaining studies, the relative risk/benefit
of radiologic procedures and the basic technical aspects of how examinations
are performed. They will also again insight into the diagnostic limitations
of imaging studies and how these parameters effect patient care. The student
will see hundreds of imaging studies. It is not the purpose of the program
to have the student a skilled interpreter of imaging studies . A familiarity
will be established, but directed to the use of the technologies.
- The student will develop an understanding of the differences between, and
interactions among, each of the imaging specialties and the operation of these
radiologic subspecialties in the context of modern radiologic and medical
practice.
