Education Equity in Radiology.

Abstract

Educational equity-the principle that all learners should have access to the resources and support they need to achieve their full potential-is a growing area of focus in medical education. In radiology, in which training is deeply reliant on access to advanced technology and specialized faculty, disparities in resources can significantly affect trainee experience and competency. The authors explore the concept of educational equity and its unique relevance to radiology, highlights the challenges faced by lower resourced training programs and review a range of accessible online educational tools that can help mitigate these disparities. The authors offer a call to action for national radiology organizations to reduce barriers by expanding access to educational content, supporting underresourced programs, and protecting graduate medical education funding. Through coordinated efforts, the radiology community can advance equity in training and, ultimately, improve patient care on a global scale.
