Assessments of Medical Student’s Knowledge About Radiation Protection and Different Imaging Modalities in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Conclusions: The assessments of medical students’ knowledge regarding radiation exposure in diagnostic modalities reveal a low level of confidence in their knowledge of ionizing radiation dose parameters. Furthermore, the mean scores on overall knowledge assessments indicate a need for improvement i...

description Conclusions: The assessments of medical students’ knowledge regarding radiation exposure in diagnostic modalities reveal a low level of confidence in their knowledge of ionizing radiation dose parameters. Furthermore, the mean scores on overall knowledge assessments indicate a need for improvement in RP knowledge for medical students. To address this gap, a comprehensive modification of the undergraduate medical curriculum’s radiology component is required by enhancing active learning approaches and integrating radiation safety courses early in the medical curriculum. Medical education institutions could implement ongoing workshops, online modules, and certification programs to reinforce radiation safety principles.
