QUEST on RAD Academy

January 26, 2023

Did you know the CAR-CSTR developed comprehensive educational content for radiologists focused on the imaging interpretation and reporting of lung cancer screening? After reviewing evidence from Canadian and international screening programs as well as research studies, a multidisciplinary team at the CAR and CSTR created robust patient and imaging focused guidance standards for lung screening programs.Through the Accelerating Lung Cancer Screening Program Development and Implementation Initiative funded by the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (the Partnership), the CAR and its Affiliate Society, the Canadian Society of Thoracic Radiology (CSTR) received an unrestricted educational grant to develop comprehensive educational content for radiologists focused on the imaging interpretation and reporting of lung cancer screening.

 

The focus of the education is not only to ensure optimal sensitivity and specificity from radiologists, but also to educate on the nature of screening as a risk reduction strategy. Together, both the CAR Lung Screening Accreditation Program (LSAP), and the Quality Education Screening Training Program (QUEST), work in tandem to protect both patients and medical imaging departments by ensuring continued confidence in the medical imaging community and by helping in the early detection of lung cancer.

Radiologists will develop the knowledge and skills necessary through this multifaceted education program that includes both the identification and classification of screening abnormalities and management considerations appropriate to the Canadian context.

This accredited program, eligible for Section 1, 2 and 3 SAP Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credit, is designed for practicing radiologists interested in and/or whose work involves performing or interpreting images in the diagnosis of lung cancer screening.

The program is divided into three parts featuring 11 didactic lectures, interactive multiple-choice question modules, as well as a live instructor-led case-based review session.

Check out PART I on RAD Academy – QUEST: Introduction to Lung Cancer Screening! Get started and check out the first four modules!
