Information about this clinical experience:
You will be under the supervision of a board-certified radiologist who has an extensive background in teaching health professions and medical students from the U.S. The physician has a particular interest in studying and researching complex cases of pneumoconiosis.
Known to be a passionate educator, the preceptor has developed a well-thought-out curriculum for learning. Sessions will be devoted to the fundamentals of radiology related to different imaging modalities, including ultrasound, CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine. Learners will become familiar with the indications, benefits, and limitations of these modalities in the diagnosis and management of patients. Rotators will also gain an understanding of the risks of radiation and contrast exposure.
The experience will include sessions dedicated to different body systems, including neuro, head and neck, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and musculoskeletal radiology. Time may be devoted to educating learners about focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) and point of care ultrasound (POCUS). As each body system is discussed, common disorders and conditions will be discussed and the radiologist’s role in diagnosing and treating these disorders will be presented.
