    AbstractA radiology end of course assessment for 48 (60%) of 90 students in 3rd year medical course shows that 9 (19%) passed the pathological traumatic films, 36 (75%) passed the radiographic anatomy of oblique lumbar spine, 12 (25%) passed the normal contrast study of the female reproductive organ--Hysterosalpingogram, and an equal number passed the pathological rachitic bone. The poor performance results from lack of exposure to radiographic anatomy during course of traditional anatomy, inadequate time for teaching of clinical radiology and the relative under-estimation of the importance of radiology in medicine by students as well as the Medical Education Planners. Measures to correct these are presented.
