RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the perception of the relevance of introducing bilingual (Portuguese-English) musculoskeletal imaging education into radiology and diagnostic imaging residency programs, describing the method used. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To evaluate the relevance of incorporating the bilingual study of musculoskeletal imaging into medical residency programs, we administered a questionnaire, consisting of several multiple-choice questions and one subjective question, to 21 radiology residents at a private tertiary hospital. The residents completed the questionnaire voluntarily and anonymously. RESULTS: Integrating English teaching into radiology training was considered important by 95.2% of the residents. Approximately 90% of residents believe that the method applied at their institution is suitable for learning. CONCLUSION: The introduction of the English language into the teaching of musculoskeletal imaging in the radiology residency program was perceived positively by the residents, and the preceptors effectively supported those activities.

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar a percepção de relevância da introdução do ensino bilíngue (português-inglês) da imagem musculoesquelética na residência e aperfeiçoamento médico em radiologia e diagnóstico por imagem, descrevendo o método utilizado. Materiais e Métodos: Um questionário, composto por perguntas de múltipla escolha e uma pergunta subjetiva, foi aplicado a 21 residentes e aperfeiçoandos de radiologia e diagnóstico por imagem de um hospital terciário privado, que responderam de forma voluntária e anônima, com a finalidade de avaliar a relevância da incorporação do estudo bilíngue da imagem musculoesquelética na residência médica. Resultados: A integração entre ensino da radiologia e da língua inglesa foi considerada importante por 95,2% dos residentes e aperfeiçoandos. Cerca de 90% dos residentes e aperfeiçoandos acreditam que o método aplicado na instituição é adequado para a aprendizagem. Conclusão: A introdução da língua inglesa no ensino da imagem musculoesquelética na residência médica de radiologia foi avaliada de forma positiva pelos médicos residentes, tendo os preceptores apoiado de forma efetiva as atividades.
