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 online 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 you can review on your 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.
Testimonials:
"I have attended various neuro spine fellowships, but this course was by far the best investment I have made. The depth of knowledge and practical skills I gained are unparalleled. I highly recommend this fellowship to any general radiologist with an interest in neuroradiology. Zoran is an exceptional teacher, and I particularly appreciated the selection of cases that closely mirror daily radiology reporting nothing fancy or rare diagnoses. The explanation of artifacts and technical elements was out of class." Dr Ismail (Fellow, May 2024)
"This was an exceptional course experience. The course content was comprehensive, covering relevant imaging and techniques in MRI and CT with great clarity. Each module was well structured, making complex concepts easy to grasp and apply in clinical practice. helping us to deliver directed, accurate and relavent reports for all types of referrers." Dr JP Hamill, Ireland (Fellow, May 2024)
