System of magnetic resonance imaging workshop for teachers of Medical Imaging and Radiophysics

Abstract

Introduction: There are shortcomings among the teachers of the Medical Imaging and Radiophysics degree in the technological procedure nuclear magnetic resonance, thus necessitating professional improvement.

Objective: To design a system of theoretical and practical workshops for the professional improvement of the teachers of Medical Imaging and Radiophysics degree in the technological process magnetic resonance imaging.

Methods: This research was conducted at Cienfuegos University of Medical Sciences, Cuba, during the first semester of 2023. Teachers of the degree across the country participated. The workshop system was developed based on the theoretical positioning and the diagnosis made, using survey and interview. Expert judgment was used for validation.

Results: 42.6% of the teachers surveyed considered the training received to be deficient, and 100% declared that updating on the topic was very necessary. 97.9% recognized theoretical and practical workshops are very necessary, and 70.2% stated that the theoretical and practical integration of content is very necessary. One hundred percent of those interviewed stated that teachers are poorly updated and that training is not oriented toward integrating teaching, healthcare, and research. A system consisting of six theoretical and practical workshops was developed, and experts acknowledged its quality.

Conclusions: A system of theoretical and practical workshops was designed to be carried out during on-the-job training, which is a tool for the professional improvement of the teachers of the degree in the technological procedure magnetic resonance imaging.
