Overview

- Provides a rationale that current and perspective radiological educators can use to develop more support for education both within their departments and within academic health centers
- Provides extensive practical advice on how to function more effectively as a radiological educator
- Discusses principles radiological educators can employ to develop an enlarging role for radiology in medical school curricula, a top priority for radiology at a time when there is a significant work force shortage in the field, as well as providing impetus to increase the number of residency slots in radiology
- Provides a theoretical foundation and practical suggestions for radiologists to enhance their educational expertise at a time when it is very difficult for people who devote substantial portions of their time to clinical radiology to pursue course work or continuing medical education in the field of education
