Hello, I'm Laura Avery.

0:01

I'm an emergency radiologist at

0:03

Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

0:06

I bring you this abdominal call prep course

0:09

today in hopes to enhance your knowledge of

0:12

acute entities within the abdomen and pelvis.

0:15

Our patients in the ER of high acuity,

0:17

and their early and accurate diagnosis,

0:20

is very important for patient care.

0:22

Radiology is a craftsman type of profession where

0:25

we really learn by repeat, deliberate practice.

0:30

Um, so I bring you this course with the intention

0:31

that you're going to see some pretty basic cases

0:34

that will really level up that knowledge base, but

0:37

this will actually delve into some trickier cases, as

0:39

well as you go forward in your educational journey.

0:42

I think you'll find that knowing just

0:45

those added points and added, um.

0:49

Eccentricities, maybe, of imaging will help you feel like

0:53

you're really adding to patient care and bringing them

0:56

to the next level of treatment as quickly as possible.

0:59

Plus, you'll, you'll really gain a lot of

1:01

insight from your referring physicians, as

1:03

they will really, uh, attribute those, um,

1:05

added, uh, insights to your interpretations.

1:08

And that can be a wonderful way to

1:10

have a lovely career in a hospital.

1:13

Thank you.
