Description
The goal of the fellowship is to increase the participants' confidence and competence in interpreting imaging studies of the brain and its coverings, head & neck, as well as the spine. This will be achieved by analyzing and discussing various possible sources of both error and additional relevant information.
After each lecture, the fellows will individually review and read selected anonymized clinical cases. Reporting templates will be suggested to help formulate the findings in a concise and comprehensive manner. This will be followed by mentor's questions and comments, along with interpretations and group discussion. Multiple choice questions will also be utilized to further enhance the learning environment.
TMC Academy fellowships 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.
Online sessions are recorded so that participants can review on their own time following the training.
In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of the radiologist mentor.
This fellowship is organised by TMC Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.

Dr Anees JWAD, Noble's Hospital-Isle of Man & TMC radiologist (Fellow, Nov 2022)
"Zoran is a great educator with a vast amount of knowledge and experience. It was a great pleasure to participate in the discussions, being able to ask questions of interest on the go while discussing selected cases with a wide variety of pathology. I enjoy the possibility to read the cases myself and later discuss them with a knowledgeable mentor. I am looking forward to future fellowships!"
