UCSF Radiology CORE Review

This course will review the fundamentals of the major organ systems and corresponding imaging modalities (CT/ MR/ US/ X-rays, mammography, nuclear medicine).
The course will consist of case-based, in-depth sessions on diseases of the major organ systems; as well as shorter focused lectures on physics, rad safety, cardiac, nuclear medicine and interventional procedures that are relevant to the general radiologist and radiologist-in-training.
The course will include a 90-minute session with multiple-choice questions on Non-Interpretive Skills relevant to radiology trainees.
To facilitate learning, all lectures will include rapid-fire cases and/or multiple-choice questions (MCQ), as well as “MCQ Galore” sessions that emphasize basic radiology principles in a fast-paced, question format that will be of clinical value to the radiologist on-call and in-training.

Course Format

• Five full-day sessions Monday thru Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Pacific Time (mid-day break).

• Major subspecialties/organ systems will be covered in ten half-day sessions (GI, GU, Chest, Breast, Peds, Neuro, US ObGyn, Nuc Med, IR, MSK).

• Sessions will include didactic lectures, rapid-fire cases and multiple-choice questions.

• Modalities will include CT, MR, US, Breast and NucMed; as well as essentials for Rad Safety and IR.

• Non-Interpretive Skills 90-minute review with 100 multiple-choice questions.

• 50+ UCSF faculty speakers from all radiology subspecialties.

• Online lecture review (recordings) for live course registrants, for 30 days following.
