Previously published research (phase I) demonstrated a concerning misinterpretation rate of cranial computed tomography (CT) scans by emergency physicians. This study (phase II) determined whether an abbreviated educational session would improve emergency physician interpretation skills of cranial CT scans. ⋯ Within the limits of this study, we conclude that emergency physicians' interpretation skills of cranial CT scans may be improved using a 1-hour educational session.
