Abstract
The authors assessed the radiologic educational content of a pediatric morning report teaching conference to determine ways of improving radiologic education of pediatric residents.
The authors conducted a prospective, observational study from September 1995 to June 1996. Data collected from conference case presentations included types of radiologic studies shown and unanswered radiologic questions.
During 388 case presentations, 559 radiologic studies were shown. Imaging modalities most commonly shown were plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound. The most common types of images shown were chest and abdominal plain radiographs and head CT scans. Common unanswered questions concerned radiologic study indications and techniques and radiologic appearance of diseases.
Pediatric residents must learn basic radiologic interpretation methods, imaging approaches to common problems, and ways of using the radiologist as a consultant. A large part of their radiologic education occurs in morning report, from nonradiologists. Participating in a morning report is an important way for radiologists to enhance the education of primary care residents.
