Why Attend?

Friday, April 5th, get set for a full day of virtual educational opportunities, designed with the radiology trainee in mind. Virtual Trainee Day offers a great opportunity for fellows, residents, and medical students alike to delve into topnotch content specifically tailored to enhance their knowledge and skills for the radiology journey. Participants can immerse themselves in a range of interactive sessions and topics while forging connections with peers and key figures within the radiology community.

Did You Know? Many Canadian radiology residency & fellowship programs subsidize the cost of attending the CAR ASM. Please check with your Program Director to find out whether your registration fee is being covered by your program.

What’s Planned?

Virtual Trainee Day will open on Friday morning with a thought-provoking plenary session that delves into the dynamic world of radiology through the lens of our panel of radiologists, tracing their path from residency to their current positions. This session aims to provide a unique perspective on the challenges faced, lessons learned, as well as offers invaluable insights and reflections for both aspiring and practicing professionals.

Jumpstarting the clinical programming will be a series of educational sessions Critical Imaging: Genitourinary Trauma and Mesenteric Emergencies, unlocking the complexities in genitourinary trauma by examining the intricate imaging aspects of trauma affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, penis, and testes. This session will also include a discussion on Acute Mesenteric Ischemia (AMI), offering a look into the diagnostic challenges and advancements in imaging techniques covering the arterial, venous, and non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI).

After a quick break, Spotlight on Growth: Neoplasms Revealed and Beyond the Scan: Gastrointestinal Follow-ups bring together radiology professionals to discuss pancreatic cystic and ovarian neoplasms as well as approaches to interpreting post-TACE liver exam and Crohn disease imaging.

Rounding out the program will be the popular Junior and Senior Hot Seat review sessions, which help to provide trainees with a foundation for approaching cases, replicating the ‘on-call’ experiences.

Virtual Trainee Day is available as a 1-day event or as part of the full in-person registration. Visit the registration page for more details.
