Revamping Undergraduate Radiology Education in a Problem-Based Learning Driven Institution: Successes, Challenges, and Lessons Learned

Radiology teaching for undergraduate medical students is often limited in amount and lacking a longitudinal approach spanning multiple years. At our institution, we had a goal to develop a formal and sustainable radiology curriculum. There were sequential changes made to the curriculum over several years and here, the successes, challenges, and lessons learned are outlined. Alongside these elements, student radiology quiz results and survey data over several years are also summarized. Curricular development included integrated anatomy and radiology sessions, revamped lectures focusing on interactivity and eliminating unnecessary redundancies across the multi-year curriculum, radiology media files to supplement problem-based learning, clinical skills videos, and a pre-clerkship radiology bootcamp elective.
