In response to a request from the Alliance of Medical Student Educators
in Radiology (AMSER) to provide guidelines for a general radiology
curriculum in medical school, a committee of the SGR was formed
to consider the important areas of GI radiology that medical students
should be exposed to during medical school training. This committee
was chaired by Dr. Henry Goldberg, with committee members Dr. Ruedi
Thoeni, Dr. Marc Levine and Dr. Cheri Canon. This first set of guidelines
was approved by the Board of the SGR in April 2002. These guidelines
will be integrated with others from different subspecialty areas
in radiology by AMSER so that a comprehensive set of guidelines
can be made available to curriculum committees in medical schools.
When viewing these guidelines, remember that they are not intended
to cover all of GI radiology and they are not intended to be the
same as a radiology resident curriculum. They are directed specifically
to medical students. They are only guidelines. Each institution
will have its own modifications to suit its particular curriculum.
The guidelines will be updated and revised in context with the AMSER
evaluations from all other subspecialty areas. This is expected
to happen in the next year or two.
