Abstract

The first year of radiology residency presents many unique challenges, from transitioning into a completely new, specialized field to preparing for call. Implementation of a longitudinal lecture series dedicated towards the clinical demands of being a first-year radiology resident may improve their knowledge and comfort level, as well as benefit the entire program. In this article, we outline our experience with the development of a resident-led dedicated first-year radiology resident lecture series providing targeted, high-yield instruction on rotation logistics, basic physics and artifacts, examination protocolling, and common and "don't miss" pathology.
