| Popis: | Rationale and Objectives Imaging Informatics is an emerging and fast-evolving field that encompasses the management of information during all steps of the imaging value chain. With many information technology tools being essential to the radiologists’ day-to-day work, there is an increasing need for qualified professionals with clinical background, technology expertise, and leadership skills. To answer this, we describe our experience in the development and implementation of an Integrated Imaging Informatics Track (I3T) for radiology residents at our institution. Materials and Methods The I3T was created by a resident-driven initiative funded by an intradepartmental resident grant. Its curriculum is delivered through a combination of monthly small group discussions, operational meetings, recommended readings, lectures, and early exposure to the National Imaging Informatics Course. The track is steered and managed by the I3T Committee, including trainees and faculty advisors. Up to two first-year residents are selected annually based on their curriculum vitae and an interest application. Successful completion of the program requires submission of a capstone project and at least one academic deliverable (national meeting presentation, poster, exhibit, manuscript and/or grant). Results In our three-year experience, the seven I3T radiology residents have reported a total of 58 scholarly activities related to Imaging Informatics. I3T residents have assumed leadership roles within our organization and nationally. All residents have successfully carried out their clinical responsibilities. Conclusion We have developed and implemented an I3T for radiology residents at our institution. These residents have been successful in their clinical, scholarship and leadership pursuits. |
