Educational Material
An education in neuroimaging is challenging for many reasons. Students come from many disciplines, each with their own terminologies, and the range of topics and techniques to master is often very wide. We have an educational programme that teaches everyone the basics on everything no matter what your previous training.
There are a number of problems faced by most neuroimaging centres. Apart from removing ferrous-metallic objects from every possible pocket, these include issues as basic as how to understand one another. Part of the challenges is that students come from diverse backgrounds, mathematics, physics, biology, medicine, economics, psychology, and even further afield. This means that most students are good at some things but ill-equipped for others. Typically, it is hard to know what it is you need to know, and what it is you do not know.
Our solution to this problem is to provide a wide-ranging curriculum that covers all the basic knowledge and skills necessary to follow what is going on at DRCMR, and to be able to make an intellectual contribution whatever the topic. Everyone is expected to be able to ask questions and offer contributions in fields outside of your own. The curriculum comprises several modules that most students are expected to take whilst at DRCMR.
