The Wisdom in Diagnostic Imaging SIMulation (WIDI SIM) is a strategically designed computer aided simulation of an emergency imaging experience, which rigorously tests residents’ readiness to diagnose various Radiology emergencies. It has proven to be a reliable means for assessing resident preparedness to competently and independently cover radiology call. The residents are provided with a total of 65 cases of varying difficulty, including <i><u>normal studies</u></i>. The residents respond using free text which is then scored by faculty members utilizing a robust grading rubric. The identification of pertinent GU emergencies by the “on-call” resident is of the utmost importance as it the resident who must then notify the clinicians of this concern and so that emergent treatment can be expedited.
