Expert Speakers and a Wealth of Career Experience at Virtual Trainee Day

March 28, 2024

Supported by GE HealthCare

If you are early in your radiology career and would like direction in areas of your interest, then the Virtual Trainee Day is a must-attend event. Virtual Trainee Day takes place on Friday, April 5 and features veteran speakers in the field of radiology aiming to share their expertise and experience with trainees.

There is something that will apply directly to you no matter what your interests are, says Dr. Iain Kirkpatrick, who will be presenting on Acute Mesenteric Ischemia.

“Virtual Trainee Day offers an opportunity for our future colleagues to learn about topics of direct interest to them, presented at a useful level. These sessions are created specifically for trainees. The lectures provide a safe and open learning environment for any of those questions trainees may have always wanted to ask but have withheld doing so in front of mentors or staff.”

Instead of doing a deep dive on one specific subject, Virtual Trainee Day will cover a wide range of topics on different areas of the body. This is a beneficial approach for trainees, says Dr. Kirkpatrick.

“Covering a breadth of topics throughout the day provides an equally diverse learning opportunity.  While many trainees may enjoy diving into a single topic, having a wide range of topics allows for a broader overall discussion.”

Dr. Christopher Fung adds that the differing topics will cater to everyone regardless of their level of training.

“The day offers career advice, examination preparation, and reviews of clinical medical topics,” he said. “There are a series of didactic lectures on important abdominal imaging topics for residency and future practice by several Canadian experts in the field. A special session will be presented by junior faculty, advising residents about what they wish they knew during training, and the day finishes off with ‘hot seat’ board exam style cases, which will give junior trainees an idea of what it is like to take their oral board examinations.”

Dr. Kirkpatrick’s presentation will cover the pathophysiology of mesenteric ischemia and how it informs the imaging findings and the order in which they occur. “We will discuss the best way to protocol a CT scan to make the diagnosis,” he said, “and how to make this rather challenging diagnosis more confidently.”

Dr. Fung will focus his presentation on imaging findings after Trans-Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE). “I hope that after the session, trainees will have an understanding of the rationale behind TACE and how it works, an approach to reviewing the post-treatment liver patient, and be able to recognize common and uncommon findings after TACE,” he said.

On top of the expert medical content at Virtual Trainee Day, both Dr. Kirkpatrick and Dr. Fung hope that attendees see how much fun the field of radiology can be and understand how the CAR can help trainees further develop their careers.

“I think one of the key takeaways from the day is that the CAR offers radiologists at every stage of training a variety of educational resources ranging from education on clinical and basic scientific topics, career planning and administration,” said Dr. Fung. “Hopefully the residents will stay on as members after graduation and become part of our national radiology community!”

The development of Virtual Trainee Day was supported by an unrestricted education grant from GE HealthCare and was planned to achieve scientific integrity, objectivity, and balance.

The CAR would also like to thank GE HealthCare for sponsoring the Radiologists-in-Training Reception, onsite on Friday, April 12 during CAR 2024.
