Data science pathway prepares radiology residents for machine learning

"An important component of a curriculum like this is to learn the language the data scientists speak and teach them a little bit about the language that we as radiologists speak so that we can have better, more effective collaborations," Dr. Wiggins said. "Going through that process over several different projects was where I think I gained the best experience throughout all of this."

Dr. Wiggins credited Katherine Andriole, Ph.D., director of Research Strategy and Operations at the CCDS, and Michael H. Rosenthal, M.D., Ph.D., for their guidance and feedback as mentors of the project.

Earlier this year, Dr. Wiggins accepted a position as clinical director of AI at Duke Radiology in Durham, North Carolina, where he hopes to utilize some of the lessons he learned from the pathway development process.

"I also hope that people from other institutions might read this manuscript and find something useful for integrating into their residency curricula or for developing specialized pathways for informatics and/or data science," he said.

"Preparing Radiologists to Lead in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: Designing and Implementing a Focused Data Science Pathway for Senior Radiology Residents." Collaborating with Drs. Wiggins, Caton, Magudia, Rosenthal and Andriole were Sha-har A. Glomski, M.D., Elizabeth George, M.B.B.S., and Glenn C. Gaviola, M.D.
