Teaching
• Postgraduate
This major activity continues, with new inputs from the
University, Colleges and the HPCSA having significant
roles. More structured teaching, regular assessments
and revised examination structure plus obligatory
theses are now reality. The division upgraded and
complete refurbishment processes to convert into a
fully digital radiology unit, with the advent of a formal
Picture Archival and Communication Systems (PACS)
and Radiology Information System (RIS) partially done.
This is having a major beneficial effect on the manner
and quality of postgraduate teaching and supervision,
both in radiology and other specialties.
• Undergraduate
Regular weekly structured teaching sessions continue,
together with the case-based multidisciplinary
meetings in various specialties allowing both under- and
postgraduate students to see the impact of imaging on
clinical-decision making
