Radiology (M90)  (Dept. Info)Medicine  (Policies)YR2024
M90 Radiol 801General Radiology (Clinical Elective)4.0 Units
Description:This four-week Radiology elective allows students to rotate through four of the following Radiology services: Pediatrics, Abdomen, Musculoskeletal, Neuroradiology, Nuclear Medicine, Emergency Radiology, Mammography, Chest, and Interventional Radiology.

The primary course objectives are to familiarize students with the scope of diagnostic and interventional radiology, including the consulting role radiologists provide to primary care and specialty providers; risks/benefits and cost effectiveness of radiologic examinations; guidelines for ordering common studies; and the radiologic appearance and workup of specific disease entities.

Students spend most of each day in the Radiology reading rooms with residents, fellows, and faculty for interactive teaching at the workstation, driven by daily clinical cases. Students will attend morning and noon didactic conferences with the residents. The students will have a primarily observational role in conferences and in the clinical setting. On Thursday afternoons, students will participate in an interactive conference led by a Radiology resident on a scheduled topic in Radiology. Prior to each Thursday conference, students are expected to view assigned lectures from the course material available online (WUSTL Box). On Friday afternoons, students will present an interesting case from the week in the format of a PowerPoint presentation. All of the PowerPoint presentations will be submitted at the end of the rotation for grading. Students will also be evaluated on their preparedness and participation in the afternoon conferences.

Reading lists, references, and textbooks will be provided. The first day of the elective is mandatory. Attendance is per WUSM clinical absence policy. Grades will be based on daily attendance and interactions, conference participation, and submitted presentations.

Student preference requests for Radiology service assignments should be emailed at least two weeks prior to the course start date to the elective contact. Requests are considered on a first come first serve basis and cannot be guaranteed.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
