Lessons learned
• integrate e-mentoring program into existing residency program
• CoL promotes self-management of learning
• Enhance technology for interactive teaching sessions
• Train faculty in skills of community building & collaborative learning
because if we can teach over the internet, then academic radiologists at universities … everywhere can assist in the training of radiologists in less developed countries”.
Dr Brant, e-Mentor
“I’m totally excited to be a part of this project because I see huge potential for it.
For the future of radiology education and particularly in support of RSNA’s efforts in international education ….
