6. EDUCATION, TRAINING AND
RESEARCH PROGRAMMES
6.1. PRINCIPLES AND CRITERIA FOR GOOD PRACTICE
6.1.1. Education and training programmes
Education and training are essential for health professionals involved in
diagnostic radiology. These can take many forms, including academic, clinical
and miscellaneous. These programmes include all personnel in the
multidisciplinary team working in a radiology facility.
The extent and diversity of programmes offered by the facility, coupled
with potentially limited resources, require that a professional officer be assigned
to oversee the management of education and training within the facility.
6.1.1.1. Academic education programme
While academic education is under the direction of a university or
professional body, and is often located in a university setting, full or partial
academic programmes may also operate within the radiology facility
environment. Examples include professionals enrolled in:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Integrated academic and clinical programmes operating on one campus;
Part-time study with lecture programmes within the facility;
Distance education programmes.
While the quality of academic programmes is generally considered to be
beyond the scope of these audit guidelines, it is expected that academic
programmes that give basic qualifications to health professionals will have:
—A syllabus that is subject to appropriate review;
—Lecturers with adequate qualifications.
