OVERALL EDUCATIONAL GOALS FOR OSUMC RADIOLOGY RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Enter description here.
The principal goal of the OSUMC Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program is to meet or surpass the requirements of the AOA/AOCR in conjunction with the requirements of the ACGME Radiology Residency Review Committee in training competent, caring osteopathic radiologists who possess the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary to:
- Pass the three core AOBR exams during residency
- Pursue a fellowship, enter private practice or begin an academic career.
- Practice radiology according to the standards set by the AOBR, AOCR/ACR and other
- professional organizations.
- Participate in life-long learning and quality improvement.
These goals are accomplished by:- Achieving ACGME milestones in radiology residency training.
- Providing supervised graduated exposure to varied case material.
- Delivering an educational program that consists of clinical teaching and performance feedback
- that is supplemented with conferences, case discussions, ACR syllabi, journal clubs/articles,
- morbidity and mortality conferences, business and research training.
- Providing teaching and experiences that enable residents to master the 6 ACGME core
- competencies, meet specialty milestones and gain confidence in image interpretation,
- consultation, and performance of procedures expected of a practicing diagnostic radiologist.
- Resident participation in scholarly activity through medical student teaching; presentations at
- departmental and interdisciplinary conferences, regional or national meetings; peer-reviewed
- publications or presentations of original research; and membership in professional & scientific
- societies.
- Active participation in quality improvement activities.

ACGME CORE COMPETENCIES AND PRACTICE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS
Enter description here.
The RRC for Diagnostic Radiology has developed definitions for the six General Competencies to explain the expectations for each competency area in terms of the teaching and practice of Diagnostic Radiology. The RRC has also listed evaluation modalities (Practice Performance Measurements) that are suitable for each competency area. For each competency, the RRC has indicated by an asterisk(*) those evaluation modalities that programs will be required to implement. For example, for the Patient Care competency, at a minimum programs are expected to utilize global faculty evaluations and case/procedure logs to evaluate resident attainment of the competency. The Practice Performance Measurements that do not have an asterisk are suggested methods of assessment. Programs may use any of these, and the RRC encourages programs to develop their own assessment methods as well.

OSUMC RADIOLOGY RESIDENCY PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Enter description here.
The educational program for the Radiology Residency consists of clinical rotations, our academic curriculum, and scholarly activities. While each of these programs is designed to address a different set of goals, all are under the direction of the Residency Program Director and are orchestrated to accomplish our common mission effectively through an organized set of objectives.

COMPETENCY BASED GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Enter description here.
Overall program objectives are designed within the framework of the ACGME-defined Core Competencies. In order to achieve an appropriate level of competence in each area, we have designed specific activities and methods for assessment. We have constructed an outline that illustrates our approach to addressing each of the competencies. In each case, we define the area of competency, list the skill objectives in the area and educational programs offered, and methods to assess resident progress. Residents keep the form as well as assessment checklists in their Educational Portfolio and this basic outline becomes the structure for documenting their educational experiences. Their experiences are discussed with the Program Director during semi-annual performance review sessions.

Patient Care:
- To produce radiologists that provide patient care through safe, efficient, appropriately utilized, quality-controlled diagnostic and/or interventional radiology techniques and effectively communicate results to the referring physician and/or other appropriate individuals in a timely manner. Our residents learn how to provide a meaningful contribution to patient care.
- To acquire and synthesize medical knowledge in all Radiology subspecialties, using an organized approach.
- To engage in continuous learning and apply appropriate state of the art diagnostic and/or interventional radiology techniques to meet the imaging needs of patients, referring physicians, and the health care system.
- To commit to high standards of professional conduct, demonstrating altruism, compassion, honesty and integrity.
- To follow principles of ethics and confidentiality and consider religious, ethnic, gender, educational and other differences in interacting with patients and members of the health care team.
- To communicate effectively with patients, colleagues, referring physicians and members of the health care team concerning imaging appropriateness, informed consent, safety issues, and results of imaging tests or procedures.
- To develop the habits of life long learning and improvement through an understanding of the performance improvement process, journal reading and analysis, and research methods and performance.
- To understand how the components of the local and national healthcare system function interdependently and how changes to improve the system involve group and individual efforts.
- To optimize coordination of patient care both within one’s own practice and within the healthcare system.
- To consult with other healthcare professionals, and educate healthcare consumers, regarding the most appropriate utilization of imaging resources.
- To recognize clinical situations where OMM is appropriate
- To show understanding of somato-visceral relationships and the role of the musculoskeletal system in disease
- To provide accurate structural diagnosis
- To perform appropriate OMT as a procedural skill when given the opportunity
