I made it ... just in time
It was quite a task but I made it. At the beginning of 2024, I had this idea. An idea so powerful and crazy, that I was a bit afraid of doing it, to be honest. Well, I had this idea for a long time, but at new years eve I finally decided to take action and started working on it in January, while teleradiology business was calm. And here is a little trick I didn't just started working on it secretly, I told everybody that I am doing it! Why? Because that creates commitment and accountability. It is a great trick for many things if you suffer from procrastinating. So I told everybody in March I will bring this idea to life. I wanted to teach people how to report knee MRI in under 5 minutes. 5min! I had only 8 weeks to do everything from scratch. The first few weeks I was building out the script and outline. Good! I was investing in new equipment to film, new lights, new backdrop, new background lights etc. That is nice, and it took me way to long lol. I prepared all the PowerPoint slides and structure to film etc. By the time it was February, I had all the equipment, I tested it, but haven't filmed a single minute of content yet 😯 However, people were already purchasing the 5min knee MRI masterclass. I was getting more and more nervous. What If I don't finish in time? There was always something else to do (mainly family and teleradiology). So I made some changes to my schedule to get a full day of filming and bäm... 50% was recorded in one single day and I finished week 1 of the training after editing and uploading the course material to the platform in the same week the course launched. I was ready to launch, phew... So when week 1 launched on March 1st, I did not yet have the other 4 weeks ready. In a big push and another whole day of filming, editing and 2 more days of uploading and creating the other weeks, I managed to finish the full course this week (while students are still working through week 1). And I am really happy to see what this first cohort of 45 radiologists will achieve with the training, more on this in the upcoming weeks.
