The Taskforce Education of the Forum Junge Radiologie has developed a education curriculum for radiology in collaboration with the German Radiological Society (DRG). This curriculum offers a structured overview of important content for further training and exam preparation in radiology and allows individual priorities to be set. The Raducation platform was created to make preparation even easier. Raducation provides targeted digital learning content that meets the requirements of further training and supports the learning process. The platform is constantly being developed in order to adapt the content to the learning objectives in the best possible way and is supplemented by the creation of individual learning materials. Information on how to use the platform and opportunities for collaboration are also available.

The conrad learning platform from the German Radiological Society (DRG) is specially designed for radiologists. It offers interactive case collections with complete DICOM data sets that can be processed in a similar way to a radiology workstation, supplemented by clinical information and multiple-choice questions for practical learning. In addition, extensive lecture videos from radiology training courses and specialist congresses are available on demand. Some of conrad’s content is submitted to the Medical Association for recognition of CME points. Members of the DRG have free access to much of conrad’s content.
