Medical education has been shifting with the advances in technology in recent years. While these technologies have completely changed the practice of radiology, the educational system in radiology residencies must similarly adapt. A blended curriculum combines technologically mediated learning in conjunction with live classroom education. Blended teaching has been trialed in medical schools and residencies across the country with excellent results. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the start of a shift within radiology residencies to explore methods of blended resident education...

OBJECTIVE: To describe the rate and timeliness of diagnostic resolution following an abnormal screening mammogram in the American College of Radiology's National Mammography Database (NMD). METHODS: Abnormal screening mammograms (BI-RADS 0 assessment) in the NMD from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2021 were retrospectively identified. The rates and timeliness of follow-up with diagnostic evaluation and biopsy were assessed and compared across patient and facility demographics...

PURPOSE: Overutilization of neuroimaging in the emergency department (ED), especially CTA head and neck (CTAHN) exams, contributes to rising healthcare expenditures, exposes patients to radiation and may result in delays in care. We evaluated the rate of CTAHN overutilization for patients with nonfocal neurologic complaints in the ED and potential association with patient clinical, demographic data, and ED provider type. METHODS: This was a retrospective, IRB-approved study performed at a single institution spanning a 6-year period...

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic caused major disruptions in radiology departments throughout North America. Radiology residency programs were forced to make dramatic changes to their training programs, which had major impacts on resident academics and wellness. The goal of this review is to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on radiology residents' academics and wellness in North America, while also identifying effective measures taken by programs to mitigate the effects of the pandemic...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the estimated labor costs and effectiveness of Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) processes at identifying outlier performers in a large sample of providers across multiple healthcare systems and to extrapolate costs and effectiveness nationally. METHODS: Six hospital systems partnered to evaluate their labor expenses related to conducting OPPE - estimates for mean labor hours and wages were created for the following: data analysts, medical staff office professionals, department physician leaders, and administrative assistants...

INTRODUCTION: Radiology is a highly complex field which requires mastery over an ever-expanding body of knowledge. Spaced learning, interleaving, and retrieval practice are evidence-based learning strategies which enhance long-term retention of information. This systematic review aims to assess the effectiveness of these interventions in the setting of radiology education. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo, ERIC, and forward and backward citations for studies published between database inception and Feb 19, 2023...
