Trainees will undertake four sub-specialty rotations of three months duration (FTE) within their training network in systems areas of interest, such as neuroradiology, abdominal, breast imaging etc. Trainees interested in subspecialty rotations in supervised research or artificial intelligence can submit a request to Clinical Radiology Curriculum and Assessment Committee (CRCAC) for approval. Trainees can spend no more than six months in a broad subspecialty area such as interventional radiology.

Experiential Training Requirements

By the end of Phase 3, trainees must have completed the following as a minimum:

• 10 000 plain x-rays

• 750 MRI studies
• 200 nuclear medicine studies
• 50 bone mineral density (BMD) studies
• 600 mammograms
• 100 breast ultrasounds

For more information, please refer to Section Five: Structured Learning Experiences in the Clinical Radiology Training Program Handbook.

Reporting Assessment

During Phase 3, trainees must complete 20 imaging interpretation and reporting sessions per six-month period.

By the end of Phase 3, trainees must have completed the following as a minimum:

Performed Ultrasound Assessment

Fluoroscopy Procedures Assessment 

• 50 general fluoroscopic procedures demonstrating that the trainee can perform the procedure and direct supervision is no longer required (Level 4).
• 20 additional paediatric fluoroscopic procedures demonstrating that the trainee can perform the procedure with minimal direct supervision (Level 3).

Procedural Radiology Assessment

Trainees must perform 100 core skills across four categories, demonstrating that direct supervision is not required (Level 4).

Clinical Radiology/Multidisciplinary Meeting Assessment
