If you want to know how radiologists will be learning their job in 10 to 20 years, take a look at how many school children are learning their trade in the 2022-23 school year.

Driven by technology, altered by the COVID pandemic, and tweaked locally by demographic changes, children’s education is evolving into a personal, direct-to-consumer or direct-to-teacher industry.

Meanwhile, today’s school children are tomorrow’s health consumers.

To keep up, radiology must accept that instructing trainees at workstations “may never again be a standard way radiology practitioners teach.”

All of this is from the mind of a modern education pioneer, Steven Wolfe Pereira, who co-founded the company behind the popular “story teaching” app Encantos.

Pereira elaborates on his vision in a short think piece published in the September issue of JACR [1]. His co-authors are Johns Hopkins radiologists Elliot Fishman, MD, and Steven Rowe, MD, PhD.

Along the way, the authors make some compelling predictions about what form education will soon take. Tying their forecasts together is a thread of three threads – AI, digital connectivity and, yes, entertainment.

Here are examples.
