RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Competency in interpreting genitourinary (GU) imaging is an important skill for urologists; however, no nationally accredited GU imaging curriculum exists for Canadian urology residency training programs. The main objectives of our study were to 1) characterize GU imaging training in Canada; (2) evaluate residents' self-perceived competencies in interpreting GU imaging; (3) explore program directors' (PD) and residents' perceptions regarding the current imaging curriculum and suggestions for future directions. METHODS: From November to December 2022, a survey examining current imaging education in residency, perceived resident imaging knowledge, avenues for improvement in imaging education, and the role of point-of-care ultrasound within urology was distributed to all Canadian urology PDs and residents. RESULTS: All PDs (13/13) and 40% (72/178) of residents completed the survey. Only two programs had a formal GU imaging curriculum. PDs and residents reported trainees were least comfortable interpreting Doppler ultrasound of renal, gonadal, and penile vessels. PDs reported that residents were most comfortable with non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scans (9.5/10), CT urogram (9.3/10), and retrograde pyelography (9.3/10). All but one PD favored increasing imaging training in their program. PDs highlighted the lack of time in the curriculum (n=3) and lack of educators (n=3) as the primary barriers to increasing imaging training in their program. CONCLUSIONS: Most PDs and residents believe there needs to be more imaging training offered at their institution; however, addressing this is challenging due to the limited time in the curriculum and the need for available educators.
