Radiologist as Lifelong Learner: Strategies for Ongoing Education.

Given the rapid pace at which modern radiology is evolving and the associated paradigm shifts in health care delivery, it is critical that radiologists adapt and constantly update the skills and knowledge required to practice safe, patient-centered care. The Association of University Radiologists-Radiology Research Alliance Lifelong Learning Task Force convened to explore the current status and future directions of lifelong learning in radiology and summarized its finding in this article. We review the various learning platforms and resources available to radiologists in their self-motivated and self-directed pursuit of lifelong learning. We also discuss the challenges and perceived barriers to lifelong learning and strategies to mitigate those barriers and optimize learning outcomes.
