Panel discussion: Education in Radiology
The first panel discussion on Day 2 of Radiology Conclave was on ‘Education in Radiology’ where discussions were held on the need to revamp radiology education etc.
The panel discussion was moderated by Dr Akshay Baheti, Assistant Professor, TMH, Mumbai and the panelists were Dr Nandini Bahiri, HoD of the Radiology Department, Government Hospital in Jamnagar, Dr Sumer Sethi, Founder, DAMS & Telerad Providers, Dr Deelip Mhaisekar, VC, MUHS, Dr Raju Sharma, Professor of Radiology, AIIMS and Vasumathi Sriganesh, Founder & Hon CEO QMed Knowledge Foundation and Director QMed Services.
Panelists discussed ways to learn about team building, to divide responsibilities and credit to make radiology education more interesting. They agreed that there is lack of standardisation for radiology curriculum. Courses are unequal and since radiology is an expensive education with stipends varying from place to place, pupils are unable to get the right inputs, which should be pondered over.
Panelists were of the opinion to change the curriculum, which also needs to be updated and clinical oriented. They all agreed to the need for subspecialists who can provide good services as well as accreditation for those services. A lot of reading is going to help radiologist in the long-run, was what the panelists agreed to in the end.
