Phase 6: Training

The training phase can take two weeks to two months and is dependent on the number of radiologists and users. Training is crucial as radiologists must be prepared and comfortable with the impending change to a generative AI reporting system.

Approach

The training approach will be documented in a comprehensive training plan that outlines:

  • Training sub-phases

  • Scope

  • Required resources

  • Overall timeline

Training Model

Training will involve participants from across the organization, with a train-the-trainer model typically used to support radiologists and ensure scalable knowledge transfer.

1

Identify Trainers

Select internal trainers who have strong understanding of reporting workflows and will continue to support training after go-live.

2

Train the Trainers

RADPAIR provides comprehensive training to your identified trainers, ensuring they can deliver consistent, high-quality instruction.

3

Schedule Radiologist Training

Radiologist training should be scheduled as close to the go-live date as possible to maximize retention and readiness.

4

Deliver Hands-On Training

Hands-on radiologist training is mandatory and should closely replicate real-world reporting scenarios.
