Musculoskeletal radiology is one of the areas trainees and consultants most often find intimidating. It's dense, heavily anatomy-driven, and easy to feel you're never quite on top of. So when you're learning MSK, it matters enormously who stands behind the teaching, whether the content carries real authority or just repeats what everyone already says.

That's why I'm delighted to share that Dr Ramy Mansour is joining us as MSK Programme Director at Revise Radiology.

Why this appointment matters to you

As MSK Programme Director, Ramy will oversee and guide the quality of our MSK content, lending it the depth, rigour, and authority that come from a career spent at the very top of the subspecialty. For every trainee and radiologist who learns MSK with us, that's an enormous reassurance: the material you're working through has been shaped by someone who genuinely operates at the frontier of the field.

Who Ramy is

He is, quite simply, a brilliant radiologist. He's an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa, a Clinician Investigator, and was previously Section Head and Fellowship Lead for Musculoskeletal Imaging at Oxford. He has served as a Global Ambassador for the Royal College of Radiologists, holds an RCR-BSSR Honorary Professorship, led the MSK team for the European Diploma in Radiology, and has delivered well over five hundred lectures and courses across the world. He has contributed to international guidelines, taught on outreach programmes across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and beyond, and even provided radiology cover for elite athletes at the London Olympics.

And yet the thing that has always struck me most about Ramy is his humility. For someone of his standing, he carries it all with a genuine modesty that makes him a pleasure to work with and to learn from.

A relationship that goes back decades

This isn't the beginning of our relationship, but the deepening of a long one. I've known Ramy for more than twenty-four years, back to my days as an SHO in Plymouth, and in all that time he has remained one of the nicest people I've had the good fortune to meet. I've always believed life is too short not to work with people you genuinely like, and Ramy is exactly that kind of person.

What makes it particularly meaningful is that he was one of the people who helped teach me MSK radiology when I was a novice, back when he was a registrar in the Severn training scheme. MSK was one of my weakest areas, and his patience and generosity in those early days left a lasting impression. To welcome him formally into the team all these years later, to lead the very area he once helped me learn, feels like things coming full circle in the nicest possible way. He has already helped on our courses many times over the years, so this is a natural next step.

What it means for your MSK learning

The point of all this, for you, is trust. MSK is hard to learn well, and it's harder still to know whether the resource you're using reflects genuine subspecialist judgement or just surface-level pattern spotting. With Ramy guiding the content, you can be confident it's the former.

If you want to see the thinking behind why we've invested so heavily in MSK, including a case library built specifically for deliberate practice, there's a longer piece on how a deep bank of cases can change the way a radiologist builds subspecialty expertise.

Whether you're a trainee tackling MSK for the FRCR or a consultant deepening the subspecialty, explore MSK learning at Revise Radiology, now guided by one of the field's leading educators.
