How to make the most of R-ITI in your training
The RCR would encourage all training schemes to make use of R-ITI as a learning resource for their trainees, especially those in ST1-3 who are studying for the FRCR Examinations.
Learning paths
A learning path is a grouping of R-ITI sessions collected together in a way that suits an individual training programme’s teaching methods and rotations. There are two main ways these can be structured:
- By training year, for example King’s College, London has learning paths for each of Years 1, 2 and 3.
- By special interest, for example Oxford has introductory, intermediate and advanced paths for interventional radiology as well as paths for paediatrics and ST1 anatomy.
Ongoing learning for consultants
R-ITI can be an effective way for consultants to refresh their core knowledge and completion of R-ITI sessions and modules can contribute to continuing professional development. Activity reports can be extracted from the e-LfH learning management system and included in portfolios.
Constantly under review
R-ITI content is constantly being reviewed by a team of editors who work closely with the Clinical Lead and eLfH's technical team to keep sessions as up to date as possible. If you are a consultant or senior (post-FRCR) trainee and you would be interested in getting involved please email [email protected].
Queries
- Any technical queries about R-ITI should be directed to the e-LfH support team via the support page on the learning portal.
- Queries about e-learning within the RCR should be directed to [email protected]
R-ITI for overseas users
The Radiology-Integrated Training Initiative (R-ITI) is an e-learning resource available via the e-LfH Hub. R-ITI's e-learning resource is based on the knowledge and skills of practising clinical radiologists, representing best practice in radiology and combining traditional proven teaching models with state of the art technology.
