HONG KONG COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGISTS

 

GUIDELINES ON TRAINING (RADIOLOGY)

This booklet includes the General Guidelines on Basic Specialist Training (Radiology), General Guidelines on Higher Specialist Training (Radiology), and Specific Guidelines on Higher training in General Radiology and various Subspecialties. The Guidelines were first introduced in July 2001 and revised in July 2006, November 2011, October 2016, January 2020 and November 2021 respectively. In light of the fast development of radiology, the College finds it necessary to update its guidelines and regulations on training. The Training Accreditation Subcommittee (Radiology) was set up in July 2021 and one of its mandates was to update the Training Regulations and Requirements.

 

The composition of the Subcommittee is as follows:

 

 

Convenor Dr. YC Wong
Members

Dr. Raymond TM Chan

Dr. KK Cheng

Dr. LF Cheng

Prof. Winnie CW Chu

17 Working Groups were formed under the Training Accreditation Subcommittee (Radiology) in updating of the guidelines of various subspecialties. Each Working Group comprised radiologists who were trainers of the corresponding subspecialty. The Working Group collected suggestions and consolidated opinions from existing training centres to revise the training guidelines.
