Table 2 Inclusion and exclusion criteria for undergraduate medical student radiology education intervention research
From: What works in radiology education for medical students: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Criteria | Inclusion | Exclusion |
|---|---|---|
Population | Radiology education involving undergraduate medical students. | Radiology education in non-medical professions or post graduate doctors only. |
Intervention | Original research of existing educational programs where objective assessment of radiology knowledge has occurred. Medical imaging education programs addressing indications, risks, contraindications and interpretation of imaging in humans only. Medical imaging education as part of anatomy or surgical education where radiological components are taught and/ or examined. | Original research with subjective assessment only such as educators and or students’ perspectives. Original research without comparison to a control group. Original research focusing on nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, cardiac ultrasound or dental radiology teaching or physics of imaging. Programs where data required to calculate effect sizes was not available in the original publication and after attempts to contact the corresponding authors. |
Comparison | Comparison between methods of delivery of radiology education and their effectiveness on radiology knowledge and or skill acquisition. | |
Outcome | The primary outcome measure is a comparison of calculated effect sizes based on results in post intervention tests of radiology knowledge and or skills assessments. | |
