Educational activities rely on the application and integration of foundational concepts in radiology through faculty and learner-directed study. Additionally, course topics are reinforced through clinical experiences. In this course, students gain experience in the fundamentals of radiology including foundational knowledge of imaging modalities, clinical indications, basic interpretation, and methods of integration into clinical care.
Credit Hours: 2-40
