abstract = {RADUCATION - a digital platform for radiological
postgraduate training by the German Young Radiology Forum -
provides learning content structured according to the German
Training Curriculum, including original board exam
questions. This is the first study to evaluate user
statistics, experience, and preferences.Data were collected
through webpage analytics and surveys. User statistics were
analyzed for four periods: initial usage (05/2022-05/2023),
post-introduction of theoretical board exam questions
(05-11/2023), post-introduction of image-based board exam
questions (12/2023-05/2024), and ongoing usage (03-12/2024).
User perception surveys were conducted before
(05/2023-01/2024) and after (06-08/2024) implementation of
image-based board exam questions. Analyses included
descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic
regressions.User numbers increased steadily, with board exam
questions becoming the most accessed feature. Mean monthly
active user numbers increased from 372 between
05/2022-05/2023 (total users 4468), to 613 between
03/2024-12/2024 (total 15,828). Survey respondents (n = 243)
consistently rated RADUCATION as valuable for board exam
preparation $(88.6\%),$ for night/weekend shifts $(75.6\%),$
and for clinical routine $(73.4\%).$ Board exam preparation
was more beneficial for 4th/5th-year residents (odds ratio
(OR) 1.35 $(95\%$ confidence interval $(95\%$ CI):
1.15-1.59)), while shift preparation was less critical for
senior than for junior residents (OR 0.77 $(95\%$ CI:
0.59-0.99)). Video- and image-based learning content were
preferred, with users rating the platform highly
user-friendly $(86.0\%)$ and clearly structured
$(88.0\%).RADUCATION$ is a valuable, widely used digital
learning tool for radiology residents. Board exam questions
substantially increased engagement. Its structured,
peer-developed design offers a scalable model for digital
postgraduate medical education across specialties and
countries.This is the first comprehensive evaluation of
RADUCATION, a peer-developed, competency-based digital
learning platform for the radiology residency. Integrating
original board exam questions significantly increases
engagement and perceived educational value, offering a
scalable model for modern postgraduate medical
education.RADUCATION, a peer-developed, competency-based
learning platform for radiology residents, is a highly
valued, scalable model for postgraduate medical training.
Users prefer video- and image-based content, while
engagement and perceived educational value increase when
integrating original board exam questions. RADUCATION is
perceived as user-friendly and well-structured, and is
considered particularly valuable for exam preparation by
senior residents.},
