B. University of Washington
1. Core Lecture Series
Thursdays at 3:00 pm in D209. Traditionally, February is pediatric radiology month but has been moved to November in 2002. Six to eight 45-minute sessions are presented. These didactic lectures provide a basic core of material considered central to an understanding of pediatric radiology and preparatory to the certification examination.
C. MyPACS TEACHING FILE
We have switched from the traditional film teaching file to an electronic teaching file, MyPACS (http://146.79.44.90), co-developed by Dr. Ed Weinberger and Rex Jacobowitz. It’s a teaching file database system accessed through your web browser. Dr. Weinberger has established MyPACS system for the Department of Radiology here at Children’s Hospital. Please see your resident packet for instructions.
