Radiology Residency Quality Improvement Curriculum: Lessons Learned.

Quality improvement (QI) skills in radiology are required as part of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Diagnostic Radiology Milestones competencies. Although feasibility of QI curricula has been demonstrated in radiology before, there are still barriers to widespread implementation. Here, we share our experience with designing the curriculum structure and selecting content. We describe the QI projects that have been performed and discuss lessons learned, including successes, challenges, and future directions. This information is relevant for many radiology programs currently planning to implement or revise existing QI curricula.

Practical Implications for an Effective Radiology Residency Quality Improvement Program for Milestone Assessment.

Utilization of a radiology resident-specific quality improvement (QI) program and curriculum based on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) milestones can enable a program's assessment of the systems-based practice component and prepare residents for QI implementation post graduation. This article outlines the development process, curriculum, QI committee formation, and resident QI project requirements of one institution's designated radiology resident QI program. A method of mapping the curriculum to the ACGME milestones and assessment of resident competence by postgraduate year level is provided. Sample projects, challenges to success, and lessons learned are also described. Survey data of current trainees and alumni about the program reveal that the majority of residents and alumni responders valued the QI curriculum and felt comfortable with principles and understanding of QI. The most highly valued aspect of the program was the utilization of a resident education committee. The majority of alumni responders felt the residency quality curriculum improved understanding of QI, assisted with preparation for the American Board of Radiology examination, and prepared them for QI in their careers. In addition to the survey results, outcomes of resident project completion and resident scholarly activity in QI are evidence of the success of this program. It is hoped that this description of our experiences with a radiology resident QI program, in accordance with the ACGME milestones, may facilitate the development of successful QI programs in other diagnostic radiology residencies.
