title: Radiology Residency Quality Improvement Curriculum: Lessons Learned.
abstract: Quality improvement (QI) skills in radiology are required as part of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Diagnostic Radiology Milestones competencies. Although feasibility of QI curricula has been demonstrated in radiology before, there are still barriers to widespread implementation. Here, we share our experience with designing the curriculum structure and selecting content. We describe the QI projects that have been performed and discuss lessons learned, including successes, challenges, and future directions. This information is relevant for many radiology programs currently planning to implement or revise existing QI curricula.
