☢ Over 90% of Interventional Cardiologists, Interventional Radiologists, and Electrophysicists report worrying about radiation exposure. 🧠 Research shows that long-term occupational exposure to ionizing radiation among medical providers include significantly reduced left hemisphere capacities like verbal long-term memory and verbal fluency. 🛡 Protecting those above-the-table vertical gaps that expose operators' heads and upper bodies is extremely important. 🌟 Steradian Shield™ offers that much-needed vertical protection to physicians, nurses, and techs who work in fluoroscopy suites and hybrid operating rooms. 🔗 Link to the Radux website in the comments below. #InterventionalCardiology #InterventionalRadiology #Electrophysiology #RadiationProtection #CardiacCathLab #CathLab

Radiology residents often ask their peers, more senior residents, fellows, and faculty for guidance on how to prepare for rotations and what resources are considered most high yield for improving medical knowledge and understanding while on rotation. With this in mind, the APDR has created 3 "Rotation Guides" for the most common rotations that programs provide to their residents - one for the resident's first rotation, one for the resident's second rotation, and one for the resident's third rotation (R2 and R3 guides coming soon). These guides contain a prioritized list of top goals and objectives with the associated core competency areas parenthetically indicated at the end of each one. These guides also contain recommended targets for case volumes, suggested reading material and videos for each week on rotation, mid-rotation and end-of-rotation feedback sections, and a "must-see diagnosis" checklist. Given that radiology residency programs significantly vary from one another, these guides are presented as MS Word documents with the intention that they will be downloaded and adjusted by individual programs to meet the unique circumstances and needs of their programs. We also intentionally made them as short as possible while striving to maintain comprehensiveness. We aim to review these every two years in order to ensure up to date content. We hope you find these helpful. https://lnkd.in/gjCDZzct #RadPD #RadEd #RadRes #RadPCs

Dr. Chloe Peters discusses the value of near-miss conferences among medical residents, highlighting the practice in a residency program and drawing comparisons to aviation training, which excels in managing complications.

The number of #POCUS exams recommended to achieve competency and for credentialing has been 25-50 per exam type. This number was established based on consensus, but has little data supporting it. In reality, the number of exams required should vary by exam type. Some exams, like cardiac #POCUS are harder to learn and may require more exams, whereas lung #POCUS is easier to learn and may require less. This is the basis of competency based medical education that is frequently talked about today. This concept is the basis of this great paper by Ahmad Bakhribah that I was privileged to be a part of. How many exams are necessary for emergency medicine residents to achieve competency in the FAST exam? Check it out! https://lnkd.in/gPZhbynk

🩻 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟯 - 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 Imaging is your thing? We're looking at the role of clinical radiologists this week! All of this information is available on the The Royal College of Radiologists website so please take a look. I've also added a slide on what to look out for when you're on work experience. My personal experience with consultant radiologists in placement has been amazing. I have been grilled on my anatomy (which wasn't very fun), but have always learned so much. If you're a radiologist seeing this post, please comment below and tell aspiring medics what you love most about your role! Let me know what specialty interests you the most! #Medicine #Alevel #GCSE #UCAT

I'm looking forward to presenting at Updates in Inpatient Medicine later this month. This is a conference organized by my colleague, Dr. Michael Fralick, who is a bright and curious mind & is passionate about medical education. I'll be reviewing CT chest interpretation, which will be geared towards physicians in internal medicine. I hope to see many of you there!

The stethoscope took at least three decades to become standard medical practice in the mid-1800s. Today, point-of-care ultrasound is making a similar transformation in medicine, in an era where technological adoption moves at a much faster pace. For family medicine practitioners, the 2024 ACGME program requirements include diagnostic imaging experience for residents, reflecting ultrasound's essential role in modern primary care. Now, handheld devices are transforming everything from MSK to cardiac care. Real-world adoption is accelerating residency evolution. By the time they begin practicing, they will naturally expect ultrasound to be an integral part of their day-to-day clinical practice." Kosmos ultrasound devices are designed to grow with ultrasound learners as their skills develop. With helpful AI and cart-benchmarked image quality and capabilities, it is a tool you can use from your first scans in residency through your practice as a primary provider.

Here’s an update to a popular course that makes your learning experience even better. We’ve restructured the Focused Acute Medicine Ultrasound course allowing you to complete each of the modules individually. This means it’s even easier to fit learning in with your busy life. The course, created by front-line acute medicine practitioners, covers 5 critical areas of ultrasound use: 💡 The ultrasound basics module which covers Ultrasound physics, artefacts and how to examine a patient with ultrasound. 💡 The thoracic ultrasound module teaches you about artefacts encountered in chest ultrasound, the appearances of pneumonia and pleural effusion and how to use the Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Emergency (BLUE) protocol to assess patients with respiratory failure. 💡 The abdominal and renal ultrasound module teaches you about the seven point FAMUS abdominal scan to exclude obstructive uropathy and about free fluid in the abdomen and the best location to sample it. 💡 The deep vein thrombosis (DVT) module teaches you how to rule in a DVT. Each module also includes a formal assessment session – to test & reinforce your learning. Learn more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eSbJk7PH #healthcare #elearning
