Description
**This programme is now fully booked for September 2022.**
We have added an additional session for January 2023: Register soon to guarantee your seat!
Being a radiologist is not as fancy as being a pilot or a top level athlete. We mostly sit on a chair, stare at a screen and talk with a low voice to our RIS and PACS. In this workshop, Volker and Roar will show you how you can apply pilot and athlete principles to improve your radiology skills, your efficiency and your workday.
Are you working in an optimal way or in an optimal environment, as efficiently and smart as you want? Or are you challenged by your boss to cut the backlog on your lists? Maybe you are challenged by yourself to improve accuracy and speed, so you can spend more time doing the things you really want to do? Volker and Roar will share their experience and methods, inspiring you to evaluate your own workday, taking charge of your performance.
TMC Academy workshops are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone in order to recreate the face-to-face experience.
