      ab: There is consistent demand for clinical exposure from students interested in radiology; however, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in fewer available options and limited student access to radiology departments. Additionally, there is increased demand for radiologists to manage more complex quantification in reports on patients enrolled in clinical trials. We present an online educational curriculum that addresses both of these gaps by virtually immersing students (radiology preprocessors, or RPs) into radiologists' workflows where they identify and measure target lesions in advance of radiologists, streamlining report quantification. RPs switched to remote work at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in our National Institutes of Health (NIH). We accommodated them by transitioning our curriculum on cross-sectional anatomy and advanced PACS tools to a publicly available online curriculum. We describe collaborations between multiple academic research centers and industry through contributions of academic content to this curriculum. Further, we describe how we objectively assess educational effectiveness with cross-sectional anatomical quizzes and decreasing RP miss rates as they gain experience. Our RP curriculum generated significant interest evidenced by a dozen academic and research institutes providing online presentations including radiology modality basics and quantification in clinical trials. We report a decrease in RP miss rate percentage, including one virtual RP over a period of 1 year. Results reflect training effectiveness through decreased discrepancies with radiologist reports and improved tumor identification over time. We present our RP curriculum and multicenter experience as a pilot experience in a clinical trial research setting. Students are able to obtain useful clinical radiology experience in a virtual learning environment by immersing themselves into a clinical radiologist's workflow. At the same time, they help radiologists improve patient care with more valuable quantitative reports, previously shown to improve radiologist efficiency. Students identify and measure lesions in clinical trials before radiologists, and then review their reports for self-evaluation based on included measurements from the radiologists. We consider our virtual approach as a supplement to student education while providing a model for how artificial intelligence will improve patient care with more consistent quantification while improving radiologist efficiency.
