The objective was to improve the implementation of the integration of Radiology in the integrated PBL curriculum.Methods:
This was a cross sectional descriptive study of radiologists and medical students using interviews and semi-structured questionnaires respectively.Results:
Radiologists' and students' perceptions and opinions on Radiology training were gathered. A Radiology training rationale was developed. Learning outcomes for Radiology were defined and learning formats were chosen. Learning materials were identified and strategies to improve the implementation were formulated.Conclusions:
This work has culminated into changes in Radiology integration in the curriculum and training at the FOM
