Screening mammography should not be delayed after COVID-19 vaccination because axillary adenopathy is a common imaging finding and persists for as long as 43 weeks.

The introduction of new technologies and teaching strategies to educate the digital learner creates the potential for a better and more standardized training experience across programs. Thus, we sought to create an instructional video on stereotactic core breast biopsy that simulates best practices and could be readily accessed by training programs to improve and standardize resident education. At our institution, we use the video and questions as part of a flipped classroom educational activity. Residents are requested to complete the questions at home and watch the video. They then take the posttest questions during the lecture period, at which time the answers are reviewed and there is additional discussion of the procedure. The tests contain both video-related questions and control questions. After viewing the video, there was a 30% mean improvement in the video-related questions compared to a 0% improvement in the control set of questions. An instructional video on stereotactic core biopsy was created with associated assessment questions that can be used at any institution for the purposes of improving and standardizing training in breast imaging procedures. This resource can be especially useful for programs where trainees have limited procedure exposure.
