Comments from 2024

  • I feel much more confident looking at images
  • In general, I think this course is one the best I have been , in terms of the content of the program as well as the practicality of those knowledges shared in the lectures. I am really glad of having booked this course
  • I have learned radiology from the books or from the senior medical persons but this is the first course which is taught by the radiologists.and getting radiologists point of view. Simply a great course
  • The type of topic brought in the lectures, very relevant to my practice. The way those topic has been discussed, demonstration with real cases makes the lecture much more pragmatic and enjoyable and the possibility of studying the images on your own with the PACS service, it is very motivating learning tool
  • Much more confident to interrogate scans and join in discussions with colleagues.
  • Feel much more confident reviewing scans and has given me a set of notes with practical tips to fall back on allow me to improve my practice.
  • I was very confused about reading CT and not confident with my findings as I felt very limited, this course has opened a door to me as I can interpret decently a CT now and I feel motivated to keep going.
