39258 - Professional Workshop 1 (BO)

Learning outcomes

The student acquires the ability to carry out exercises in a protected environment on traditional radiology equipment, to carry out patient handling, to carry out simulation tests with a mannequin, and any other preparatory action or preparation for the internship.

Course contents

The Professional laboratory emerges as the student's first experience in the field, in a protected environment, where they can acquire the preparatory skills for the internship in the diagnostic imaging sections; provides the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the techniques, methods and tools that will be used during the internship. A specific focus on healthcare information systems (RIS/PACS workflow) will also be conducted within the Laboratory. The student will follow the Tutor who, with the help of a mannequin, will simulate taking care of a patient in radiology, the handling techniques and the activities of conducting a radiographic investigation. Involving and assisting students in practical activities, including through role playing, will lead the individual to gain confidence with the tools, the search for automatism, the control of gestures, emotions and awareness of errors.

Readings/Bibliography

The bibliography will be updated and communicated at the beginning of the lessons; the slides shared during the lectures will be delivered. The fundamental bases of the most recent radiographic technique are represented by the following sources: 1. MERRILL'S ATLAS OF RADIOGRAPHIC POSITIONING AND PROCEDURES, E. FRANK, B. LONG, B. SMITH (12th edition) 2.RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY - F. MAZZUCATO (ed. 2009) 3. ATLAS OF GENERAL RADIOLOGICAL AND SKELETAL TECHNIQUE, TRENTA - A. CORINALDESI, A. SAS (ed. Universo)

Teaching methods

The Laboratory includes a portion of frontal lessons strictly dependent on the teaching of technical sciences of radiological imaging. Group/individual work techniques will be used to develop practical Technical Skills and Non Technical Skills (NTS) skills divided between classroom, laboratory and field exercises.

Assessment methods

During the course of the Professional Laboratory, students will be subjected to ongoing checks, through practical tests designed to stimulate the student on the learning processes. Through Problem Based Learning, the student will acquire specific skills that will provide decision-making autonomy in interconnection between procedures and clinical questions. At the end of the course the student will be subjected to a practical suitability test preparatory to the start of the internship in the various radiological settings.

Teaching tools

All the educational contents covered during the lessons will be shared through the UniBO VIRTUAL platform. For the first time in an institutional context, teaching will also be supported through Meducoach, an educational platform intended for students and healthcare professionals of Medical Radiology (TSRM). The web tool, intuitive and easy to understand, will make the contents related to radiological imaging of the osteo-articular system accessible, through 3D images, contributing to the improvement of learning outcomes in diagnostic imaging techniques.
