ECSO-MRI - project aim
The aim of this project is to develop a European Curriculum for Safety Officers in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Many issues related to this topic emerged in discussions we had with our alumni. So, the idea grew to develop a MR Safety program and we reached out to our European partners.
Because our target group is very divers we want to stimulate and increase sharing knowledge in MR Safety. We want to deploy the necessary educations technology to support a transnational common curriculum. From an educational perspective we need to find a balance between the learning preferences from our target group and the curriculum design. And this all is needed so we can work together moving towards a safer MR Environment.

The research group will design a curriculum who is compliant to the MRSO descriptor role so we can maintain quality across out teaching institutions. We will create e similar vision about teaching, learning and assessment in a transnational blended learning environment.
The curriculum will be developed in a modular structure which includes a basic MR safety module (Ā± 10 ECTS) and modules for magnetic resonance safety officer (MRSO) education and training (Ā± 20 ECTS). Each course module will have a module descriptor which states the module aim(s), teaching and learning methods, description of study materials, competencies that will be achieved on successful completion of each module. The produced/ developed course materials may include lecture notes, video recordings, scientific articles, PowerPoint presentation, learning exercises and assignments. The delivered curriculum will be integrated in an e-learning platform by the aid of educational technology. This e-learning platform will have a consistent structure throughout all course modules, a noticeable learning pathway for the target group and will facilitate independent student learning and self-testing (asynchronous) to monitor study progress.
