Radiology:
Reimagined for Real-World Practice
Why RapidRads
The Method
We work closely with multiple board-certified radiologists to review our content, ensuring learners receive the most relevant and accurate radiology information and techniques.
​Proven Results
Over 60% of eligible EM programs have no formal radiology curriculum, despite the American Board of Emergency Medicine and the majority of EM residency program leadership believing radiographic interpretation is an important and necessary skill.
Before its launch, RapidRads underwent studies to verify its efficacy. The program demonstrated statistically significant improvements in learners' capacity to interpret radiographic images accurately.
Upon completion of the course, participants reported marked enhancements in both their confidence levels and sense of competence in interpreting images within the emergency department setting.
The Consensus
Many learners often lack confidence in their ability to interpret their own imaging results
Miss rates pose a significant and widespread concern
Universal radiologist coverage is lacking in many facilities
The proficiency to interpret radiographic images in the emergency department is universally recognized as an essential skill for healthcare providers
Filling The Void
At RapidRads Medical Education, we believe that non-radiologist clinicians—whether in emergency medicine, primary care, or hospital settings—deserve the confidence to interpret imaging when it matters most. While they’re not expected to read studies like a radiologist, they are often the first to see the image and make decisions that impact patient care in real time. That’s why we created RapidRads: a practical, high-yield radiology learning tool built by two emergency medicine physicians, specifically for non-radiologists who need to develop competence and comfort with essential imaging.

Emergency Medicine Physician
Hey! I'm Dr. Cook, co-founder of RapidRads. Originally from Columbus, Ohio, where I studied and played soccer for my university. The thrill of adventure eventually led me to the fast-paced world of emergency medicine. Throughout my training, I uncovered a passion for teaching, particularly in areas where knowledge was scarce. And thus, RapidRads was born. I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of your radiology journey and help you grow!
