If you want to know how radiologists will learn their jobs 10 to 20 years from now, take a look at the ways many schoolkids learn their subjects in the 2022-23 school year.
Motored by technology, changed by the COVID pandemic and fine-tuned locally by demographic change, children’s education is morphing into a personalized, direct-to-consumer—or direct-to-learner—industry.
Meanwhile today’s schoolkids are tomorrow’s healthcare consumers.
To keep up, radiology must accept that instructing trainees at workstations “may never again be a standard way that radiology attendings teach.”
All of this is from the mind of a contemporary education pioneer, Steven Wolfe Pereira, who co-founded the company behind the popular “storyteaching” app Encantos.
Pereira expounds on his vision in a brief think piece published in the September edition of JACR [1]. His co-authors are Johns Hopkins radiologists Elliot Fishman, MD, and Steven Rowe, MD, PhD.
Along the way, the authors make some compelling predictions about the shape education will soon take. Binding their forecasts together is a cord of three strands—AI, digital connectivity and, yes, entertainment.
Here are examples.
