Radiology welcomes medical physicist to the teamThe radiology program welcomed a new

expert to its teaching team last summer. Nima Kasraie, Ph.D., clinical imaging medical physicist at Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics, joined the faculty at UMKC as an assistant professor of medical physics with the department of radiology.

Kasraie earned his Master of Science in Nuclear and Radiological Engineering at the University of Tennessee. He earned his doctorate in medical physics with a focus on diagnostic imaging from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. He then completed his post-doctoral training at California State University, Fresno, in biomedical physics within the department of physics.

Kasraie is heavily involved in developing and optimizing all imaging including

accreditation, testing and certification. Medical physicists also work with a radiation safety officer in matters of radiation protection, and most often a medical physicist is used for training staff and personnel such as radiology residents and technicians. He plans to become involved with radiologists and radiology residents in active research projects.

“We are excited to have Dr. Kasraie join our education team. It is a great benefit to our residents and Children’s Mercy as a whole. Having an in-house medical physicist brings many new research and education opportunities for radiology,” said Lisa Lowe, M.D., professor and chair of radiology.

Kasraie helps train and educate radiology residents in preparation for the physics part of their ABR boards. He is participating

in planning a spring 2014 physics review course for radiology residents at UMKC and throughout the region. A visiting physicist has taught the review course, which has been offered for the past 2 years.

“We are very fortunate to have an enthusiastic, young physicist who gives high quality physics lectures at least once a month,” said Marcus Kater, M.D., a radiology chief resident. “These lectures are interactive and entertaining and follow along with the RSNA physics modules, so there is always a reference of the material being presented. Additionally, we have an outstanding weeklong, comprehensive physics review course twice in our training, which aids in solidifying all the physics concepts. I am confident that I will be well prepared for the boards.”

Nima Kasraie, Ph.D., is the new physicist at Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics, and the UMKC Department of Radiology.

Dear fellow alumni and friends,

I am so proud, when I look at the excellent training and education offered by UMKC’s radiology department in educating medical students, residents and fellows. That excellence is evident by looking at our current residents’ and graduates’ accomplishments. We’re graduating radiologists who are prepared to practice at the highest levels of radiology subspecialization. Our recent graduates are matriculating in fellowships at the most renowned teaching and patient care institutions in the country. Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, and M.D. Anderson are just a few of the distinguished medical centers that have accepted our graduates in recent years.

I am even prouder of the way the Radiology Alumni Association continues to play a larger role in helping with this mission. Our last alumni reception and welcome event is just one example. We had many alumni who came back to welcome our new residents; even alumni from the 1980s were present. Providing opportunities for new residents to network with established alumni is just one of the ways the alumni association is making a difference in the program.

Those who have made monetary contributions are directly impacting the quality of training in the program. In this issue, one of the articles discusses our new state-of-the-art Radiology Education Center, which enhances learning opportunities for UMKC radiology residents.

Your contributions are helping make these goals a reality.

I encourage you to read through the magazine and see the quality of this program. Think of ways you can give your time and financial contributions to help this program excel. I enjoyed seeing some of you this past summer and hope to see and hear from even more of you in the future.

Sincerely,

Kay North, D.O.PresidentUMKC Radiology Alumni Association

“The old days of lecturing from the podium are over,” said Jeffrey Kunin, M.D., UMKC associate professor of radiology and chairman of radiology at Saint Luke’s Hospital. “This provides a very nice learning and teaching space for the residents and the lecturers.”

Radiology residents working at Saint Luke’s also have the benefit of a new resident lounge that is part of the education center, complete with a sleep room and shower facilities.

Residents also receive top training from some of the nation’s leading experts in radiology through the Visiting Professors Series that offers as many as 12 visiting professors who lecture at UMKC each year, including four Greater Kansas City Radiological Society lectures.

“The advantage of having numerous visiting professors is that residents get to learn from a lot of different people,” Lowe said. “This allows them to broaden their knowledge in subspecialty areas by hearing different ways to do things.”

Some of the latest changes and additions within the radiology curriculum have followed the American Board of Radiology, which altered its exams in the past year by dropping its oral exams and going to a written, computerized test that has prompted many

radiology programs across the country to adapt their teaching methods.

The addition of web-based reference and educational tools to the departmental library has provided point-of-care resources for residents and doctors, as well as learning tools to assist residents with everything from basic radiology to more advanced concepts, helping both current and future residents meet the challenges they’ll face with the new board exams, Lowe said.

The Department added a new online resource just this year called RADPrimer to help equip residents for their board exams. RADPrimer gives residents a comprehensive radiology learning tool with test modules that cover the various sections of radiology such as neuroradiology, nuclear medicine, pediatrics, and radiology physics. Questions are arranged in modules geared towards beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.

Faculty can also access the tool and use it as a guide in making assignments, creating tests, or for pre- and post-testing before and after residents do a particular rotation. It can be useful to track a resident’s progress in a subspecialty area.

“It’s very interactive and you can do a lot with it,” Lowe said.

For the past three years, the Department of Radiology has subscribed to online resources such as STATdx, a point-of-care, online reference system that helps radiologists research and complete difficult analyses, and e-Anatomy, which offers an interactive atlas of the human body using various imaging techniques.

“In order to help prepare our residents for their board exams we’ve had to adjust how we teach them,” Lowe said.

An added emphasis on medical physics in the curriculum helps residents with that section of the boards. Children’s Mercy Hospital added to its staff in the past year a medical physicist who teaches residents and technologists. Radiology faculty members are making efforts to incorporate more physics into their own lectures as well, Lowe said. In addition, we provide residents with a free, one-week-long medical physics review course twice during their training.

First-year residents also attend a 15-hour introduction to research course. Since incorporating the course about seven years ago, Lowe said research activity in the Department of Radiology has picked up significantly. More than 190 posters, presentations and publications have come out of the Department in just the past two years.

Combine all that with other learning aids that are provided such as a course in reporting and communication skills — teaching residents how to dictate an accurate report and communicate it to the correct people — general competency conferences, and even a full-day business course, and today’s radiology residents at UMKC have access to all the tools necessary to perform well and find success in all aspects of radiology.

A s technology has moved forward, the UMKC School of Medicine Department of Radiology has worked to keep

pace and provide state-of-the-art facilities and teaching tools that allow residents and students the greatest opportunity to flourish. A Radiology Education Center at Saint Luke’s Hospital, Kansas City, growing access to web-based radiology learning tools, enhanced curriculum in the area of physics and a growing list of fellowship-trained subspecialists and visiting professors that share their expertise have all combined to provide the best radiology education experience possible.

Lisa Lowe, M.D., professor and chair of radiology, said the UMKC program is challenging. However, she said, “I think our curriculum is a shoe-in for success if you follow it.”

The Scarpellino Radiology Education Center opened at Saint Luke’s Hospital, Kansas City, in October 2012 in an area of the hospital located adjacent to the radiology department. It provides faculty, residents and students a teaching and learning environment with the latest technology to easily share information and provides more comfortable accommodations. Maybe the most noticeable piece of the education center

is a large lecture hall with stadium seating that can accommodate up to 50 people with open spaces for the handicapped. The area has wireless technology that allows for webcasting, teleconferencing apple TV and interactive audience response systems.

With the newest technology, a lecturer can even present from the comfort of their own desk using mobile devices. Technology from the conference room is used for daily web conferencing among the School’s affiliated hospital radiology departments at Saint Luke’s Hospital, Truman Medical Center, Children’s Mercy Hospital and the Kansas City VA Medical Center.

Brian Chin, M.D., neuroradiologist teaches about the skull base in the new Scarpellino Radiology Education Center.

Lisa Lowe, M.D., comes from a long line of educators.

A dedicated teacher, physician and mentor, Lowe credits her family members’ dedication to education for sparking her lifelong interests of learning and teaching. Her passion has led her to not only achieve a successful career – she is currently a professor, chair of the UMKC Department of Radiology and radiology residency program director – but also to touch the lives, education and careers of others.

Her dedication to pediatric radiology education has recently been recognized by the Society for Pediatric Radiology, which honored Lowe with its prestigious Singleton-Taybi Award at the society’s annual meeting in San Antonio. The SPR presents the award annually to a senior member of the organization whose professional lifetime dedication to the education of medical students, residents, fellows and colleagues has brought honor to him/her and to the discipline of pediatric radiology.

Lowe dedicated the award to her stepmother, who has had a successful career as an educator and educational administrator while balancing her time as a parent.

“I’m a doctor, but I’m really an educator,” Lowe said. “I dedicated the award to my stepmom because she took the time to care for me as if I were her own. It made a big difference in my life at a vulnerable age. I hope to pay it forward as I give of my time to mentor and support trainees.”

This is not the first time Lowe has been honored for her excellence in teaching. Residents presented Lowe with the Instructor of the Year Award in 2003, she was Resident Advocate of the Year in 2011 and received the Resident Certificate of Appreciation in 2012.

Since arriving at Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics more than 10 years ago, Lowe has risen in the ranks, becoming

associate residency program director of the diagnostic radiology residency in 2005 and program director in 2007. She is also the founder of the Pediatric Radiology Fellowship program and was its director from 2006 to 2008. Recognizing her ability to encourage improvement and growth, the SPR appointed her as chair of the work task force committee at a time when few fellows were entering pediatric radiology.

In addition to her efforts at CMH, the UMKC School of Medicine and her involvement in SPR, Lowe is an active member of many radiology professional organizations, such as ARRS, RSNA, ACR and AAP and is chair of the Pediatric Certifying Exam Committee for the American Board of Radiology. A widely published author of peer

reviewed articles, abstracts and posters, Lowe is also an associate editor for the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR), an assistant section editor for the American Journal of Roentgenology and is on the editorial board of the Ultrasound Radiology Journal.

Lowe is a sought-after instructor. She is a course director/panel member of seven national courses and an invited speaker for more than 30 national meetings and 17 regional meetings. She has also been a visiting professor at 17 centers and given more than 42 national oral presentations.

“I can’t imagine any job where I did not get to teach,” she said. “The success of my students is the most gratifying thing in my career.”

Desai selected to attend Introduction to Academic Radiology programNeal Desai, M.D., is the latest in a long line of UMKC radiology residents selected to attend the Introduction to Academic Radiology (IAR) program.

Each resident chosen to attend the seminar receives a grant to attend the national Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting and travel expenses. The IAR program at the RSNA

meeting gathers PGY 3 radiology residents and academic radiologists who discuss an academic radiology career, its value to the radiology community, mentoring and networking opportunities.

Desai was selected by the Education Committee and nominated by program director Lisa Lowe, M.D., F.A.A.P., to attend the program sponsored by the RSNA/AUR and ARRS. Each residency can nominate one resident for the program annually, and only 80 are selected. For the last six consecutive years, UMKC radiology residents have been among the residents selected nationally for the program.

Radiology curriculum added to medical student education Beginning this year, the UMKC School of Medicine matriculating class will enjoy a new integrated radiology curriculum as part of their education. Under the direction of Lawrence Ricci, D.O., chair of radiology at Truman Medical Center and with the help of Stephanie Ellison, M.D., curriculum committee chair, a 15-hour curriculum is currently being implemented. This addition to the curriculum will fill a gap in medical student knowledge, thus strengthening the overall quality of education provided to medical students at UMKC. It will enhance the preparedness of medical students entering internship by helping them have a better understanding of exam indications, appropriateness, radiation safety issues and the role of the radiology consultant.

During the clinical rotation years, medical students at the School of Medicine and qualified students from other medical schools may choose from a variety radiology electives at affiliated hospitals. These electives include general radiology, pediatric radiology, neuroimaging, interventional radiology, pediatric imaging research and thoracic imaging and research.

Graduating students who have entered radiology in recent years have had unprecedented success in the match due to implementation of career counseling and vastly increased scholarly mentoring by radiology faculty.
