Oral radiology is a subject critical to the clinical success of each entry-level clinician. This course will motivate faculty who wish to create an organized and enjoyable radiology education experience. Guides for creating radiology assessment criteria, along with group discussion, will give attendees the materials they need to choose a textbook, create a syllabus, maintain radiology safety training standards, and make sense of the complex concepts and techniques students must grasp as they learn the art of radiology.
