Within the pages of its second Focus on Teaching and Education issue, the JACR® presents a collection of nine articles addressing current challenges and opportunities in radiology education. Topics introduced in the issue’s Guest Editorial, written by Pamela W. Schaefer, MD, and Harprit Singh Bedi, MD, range from incorporating AI into radiology interpretations and workflow management, to mentoring models, preparing for new board examinations, and adapting teaching methodologies to optimize learning.
“Radiology is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by advancing technology, the corporatization of health care, increasing remote interpretations, physician shortages, and a growing emphasis on personalized care,” write Schaefer and Bedi. “Amid these changes, the JACR serves as a vital platform for radiology educators to share original research, innovative programs, and best practices.”
