II EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION

The Radiology Experience is an 8 day workshop presented by radiologists, orthopedists and various sub-specialists in internal medicine The majority

of the workshop will occur on campus, but there will be sessions at

outpatient or inpatient imaging facilities The format of this experience will include lectures, student evaluations of unknowns, self-learning using

textbooks, publications and online materials followed by student

presentations

III PREREQUISITES

The first two years of didactic curriculum plus the third year didactic

curriculum must be completed successfully prior to beginning this rotation

IV GOALS

The goal of this experience is to familiarize the student with clinical

correlations of imaging abnormalities and indications for appropriate

consultations In addition students will develop an understanding of various imaging modalities including plain radiograph, MRI, CT scans, bone scans, ultrasound and densitometry

V RADIOLOGY OBJECTIVES

1 Demonstrate knowledge the role of various imaging techniques in the management of patients, including their strengths, limitations and risks

2 Recognize the indications, contraindications and complications of various imaging techniques

3 Develop skills needed to read various imaging studies

4 Demonstrate knowledge of chest radiographs and recognize common pathology

5 Demonstrate knowledge of abdominal radiographs and recognize

common pathology

6 Demonstrate knowledge of musculoskeletal radiographs and recognize common pathology

7 Indentify basic cross-sectional anatomy and learn to differentiate normal from abnormal and to develop a differential diagnosis for abnormal

findings

VI SCHEDULE

Morning sessions are regularly scheduled from 8am to 11:00 am daily Most

days have afternoon sessions as well as evening sessions Because of the

unique format of this rotation, it is imperative that you check the lecture schedule carefully For location and times, please refer to the attached lecture schedule.

VII POLICIES and PROCEDURES

Attendance:

Because class participation is essential to learning how to read radiographs and because images reproduce poorly, attendance is required

Professionalism

Arizona School of Podiatric Medicine supports the MWU Student Handbook for

guidelines on professional behavior at all times and recognizes the classrooms as a training ground for developing professional behavior and attitudes Student conduct is expected to be exemplary and professional at all times This includes, but is not limited to:

 Achieving and maintaining a high standard of academic, professional and social conduct considering individual aptitude and abilities

 The recognition of the value and necessity for self education as a vital adjunct to the University’s formal educational program and to work diligently to educate oneself to become a competent professional who can live up to the standards set

by the Podiatric Medicine field

Student Behavior

While students are greatly encouraged to share their feedback, questions and concerns, disrespectful behavior towards any faculty member, guest lecturer, staff member or peer will not be tolerated in the classroom or in the offices If persons are unable to present themselves in a professional, calm and respectful manner, they may be asked to leave and return later when they are able to do so Other consequences may follow a lack of professional behavior and in severe cases may result in failure of the rotation.

Classroom Etiquette

The actions of students and their interactions with faculty members shall be

governed by the student conduct code set forth in the Student Handbook In

order to maintain an appropriate classroom/exam environment that is most

conducive to teaching, learning and performing one’s best on exams, students are expected to behave in a manner that is not disruptive or disrespectful to any person and that does not adversely affect teaching, learning, or examination

performance of any person If you are late, DO NOT ENTER the classroom

Wait until the break for entry Cell phones and pagers are to be turned off during class and laboratory time If cell phones and pagers need to be turned on during classroom time, then they must be set to the vibrate mode All calls must be made/received outside of the classroom as this type of activity is disruptive to the teaching/learning environment and is disrespectful to others in the classroom Cell phones, pagers and other electronic devices are strictly prohibited during examinations Please remove hats upon entry to the building/classroom As

professional students, appropriate professional dress is necessary Students

who do not abide by these policies may be asked to leave the classroom

and continued abuse of this policy will result in disciplinary procedures and could result in failure of the rotation.

VIII EVALUATION POLICY

Evaluation of student performance will be determined by the following:

1 One written exam of true-false and multiple choice questions

2 Student ability to read and verbally report an imaging study during class

3 Self-Learning Presentation - The instructor will briefly present a clinical case and image This will be discussed by student and instructor Based

on the findings, the student will be assigned a related topic to research Students will then present their research findings to the class in the form

of a PowerPoint presentation as follows:

a An oral presentation lasting approximately 10 minutes

b The presentation must include at least 1 image to support findings

c The presentation must include at least 1 reference from a

recognized medical text or the medical literature Web sites like Wikipedia

or WEB MD are not considered appropriate

The total possible points for the entire rotation are 100 points To satisfy the minimum academic standards for the rotation, students must achieve an overall course grade of 70% or higher

Possible:

Student ability to read and verbally report an imaging studies 40

Total Points Possible for Course: 100

Grading

The final course grade will be determined by the percentage of points earned divided by the possible points according to the following scale:

a

A 93-100 4.00

A- 90-92 3.75

B+ 87-89 3.25

B 83-86 3.00

B- 80-82 2.75

C+ 77-79 2.25

C 70-76 2.00

F <70 Failure, no course credit

*Percentages will be rounded down or up: 0.4% and less will be rounded down

to the closest whole number, 0.5% and greater will be rounded up to the closest whole number

It should be noted that successful passage of a rotation does not rest on

percentage grade alone as professionalism is considered a requirement for passage

The Arizona School of Podiatric Medicine is the final authority in determining whether a student has met the requirements to satisfactorily pass a rotation

MAKE-UP POLICY

This rotation will follow the guidelines established by the AZPod department A legitimate explanation (as decided by the course director) is required to excuse a student from an exam It is the course director’s discretion whether an exam can

be made up or rescheduled for that particular student Each situation will be handled on a case by case basis

REMEDIATION OF THE COURSE

If a student fails the course, remediation will be conducted Each situation will be handled from a case by case basis with the involvement of the course director and the podiatry program director
