Teleconferencing can facilitate a multidisciplinary approach to teaching radiology to medical students. This study aimed to determine whether an online learning approach enables students to appreciate the interrelated roles of radiology and other specialties during the management of different medical cases. Turkish medical students attended five 60-90-minute online lectures delivered by radiologists and other specialists from the United States and Canada through Zoom meetings between November 2020 and January 2021. Student ambassadors from their respective Turkish medical schools recruited their classmates with guidance from the course director. Students took a pretest and posttest to assess the knowledge imparted from each session and a final course survey to assess their confidence in radiology and the value of the course. A paired t-test was used to assess pretest and posttest score differences. A 4-point Likert-type scale was used to assess confidence rating differences before and after attending the course sessions. A total of 1,458 Turkish medical students registered for the course. An average of 437 completed both pre- and posttests when accounting for all five sessions. Posttest scores were significantly higher than pretest scores for each session ( < 0.001). A total of 546 medical students completed the final course survey evaluation. Students' rating of their confidence in their radiology knowledge increased after taking the course ( < 0.001). Students who took our course gained an appreciation for the interrelated roles of different specialties in approaching medical diagnoses and interpreting radiological findings. These students also reported an increased confidence in radiology topics and rated the course highly relevant and insightful. Overall, our findings indicated that multidisciplinary online education can be feasibly implemented for medical students by video teleconferencing.
