Let us notify you for next time

Description

“Those who use AI will replace those who don’t”! AI and its related technologies can fundamentally impact radiology work. But what does it mean for our career? What are the new opportunities for shaping our career? How can we best prepare for it? And given our scarce, valuable time, how can we best invest it in developing the skills that are best suited to our own career? The truth is that there is no better answer to these questions than the one that each of us reflectively and mindfully finds for his/her own condition. In this training program, we learn about the various ways in which AI can impact radiologists’ career, reflect on the implications of these impacts for our own career, identify the career paths that best suit our own conditions and design the steps towards achieving it.

Participants will submit a 2 page of career reflection and plan 2 weeks after the last session. This career reflection and plan should demonstrate how participants applied the content to their circumstances and defined the actionable steps for their own career journey.
