Emergent/Critical Care Imaging Simulation
What are we trying to Simulate?
What are we trying to Simulate? ALL of the skills necessary for service as a radiologist performing Emergent and Critical Care Imaging
Observational skills Full DICOM image set ( 1-3000 images) Image manipulation, optimal viewing All Modalities: CR, CT, CTA, US, MRI, MRA, NucMed, Fluoro All Systems: Body (Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis/GI/GU), Neuro/ENT, Pediatric, MSK, Vascular
Confident Determination of Normal Observational skills Confident Determination of Normal Downside of Overcall Comprehensive Search Pattern
Confident Determination of Normal Identification of Key Findings Observational skills Confident Determination of Normal Identification of Key Findings Critical/Important/Incidental Findings Clinical Context (WITH or WITHOUT History) Prioritize Findings
Observational skills Confident Determination of Normal Identification of Key Findings Recognition of Acuity
Confident Determination of Normal Identification of Key Findings Observational skills Confident Determination of Normal Identification of Key Findings Recognition of Acuity Communication of Results - Actual Practice Phone/In person Report Clarity
Confident Determination of Normal Identification of Key Findings Observational skills Confident Determination of Normal Identification of Key Findings Recognition of Acuity Communication of Results - Simulation Response is Free Text Entry No multiple choice No cueing or ability to “game” responses No True/False
Observational skills Confident Determination of Normal Identification of Key Findings Recognition of Acuity Communication of Results Initiate Appropriate action
