Evaluation of a new e-learning framework for teaching nuclear medicine and radiology to undergraduate medical students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Radiology and nuclear medicine have traditionally been taught in a series of lectures and seminars concluded by an examination testing knowledge rather than skills.

Purpose

To emphasize skills in the students' learning process, we developed and evaluated a new e-learning framework for teaching medical imaging.

Material and methods

The framework consists of electronic lectures, a learning management system (LMS), and a diagnostic viewing system. Students were to review positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examinations of five cases of lung cancer. The framework was evaluated in an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) taken by 139 undergraduate students at the end of their third year, and in a comparative survey of two groups
