A Novel Suggestion to Augment Medical Student Education in Neuroradiology Clerkships

      As diagnostic imaging has evolved in complexity, breadth, and capability, the training of future radiologists has advanced in tandem. The past decade has seen radical changes in undergraduate medical education in the radiological sciences. These include several innovations such as the flipped classroom, audience response technology, long-distance or virtual teaching, and promotion of active learning (

      ). Moreover, educators have recommended that radiology clerkships should more closely resemble clinical sub-internships that entrust clinical responsibilities to medical students, in stark contrast to the “radi-holiday” stereotype (

      ). It has also been suggested that medical students be taught about the multi-disciplinary impact of imaging on specialties other than radiology (
