Radiology After Hours: Acute Diagnoses on Evenings and Weekends

March 6 - 9, 2022

Fairmont Mayakoba
Riviera Maya, Mexico

With rapid changes in health care and recent technological advances, the demand for real-time imaging interpretation 24-hours a day, seven days a week has steadily increased. As a result, radiologists in most practices and academic centers have been asked to provide after-hours, "final" interpretations. This course was designed for general and sub-specialized radiologists who work these "non-traditional" schedules, including rotating after-hours shift work, dedicated evening and overnight radiology shifts, call on weekends, and requirements to interpret studies in areas different from their weekday routine.

Over four days, experienced Penn Medicine faculty and notable guest speakers provided participants with practical information to enhance image acquisition and interpretation skills and identify the best modality for a given clinical presentation. The program covered selected topics in neuroradiology, head and neck imaging, abdominal imaging, musculoskeletal radiology, chest, and pediatric radiology. Daily "missed" case conferences and the opportunity to earn SAM credits were included.
