To fulfill ACGME requirements, radiology residency programs are required to provide
an educational experience that includes a core didactic curriculum for each subspecialty.
Although developing and delivering such a core curriculum may not present a problem
for large academic programs, it can present a significant challenge for smaller programs
with limited faculty in each subspecialty area. Success of the core curriculum lectures
series developed for cardiothoracic radiology by the Society of Thoracic Radiology
and for musculoskeletal radiology by the International Skeletal Society in collaboration
with the Society for Skeletal Radiology prompted the idea of creating a comprehensive
core curriculum lecture series encompassing all subspecialties. This paper aims to
describe the multi-society collaborative effort entailed in building a curated, on
line resident focused core curriculum lecture series detailing the barriers encountered,
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and impact of the finished project.
