Frank Gaillard is an Australian neuroradiologist and medical educator. He founded Radiopaedia.org in December 2005 and served as its editor-in-chief until 2024.[1] He works as a consultant neuroradiologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and holds a clinical academic appointment at the University of Melbourne.[1]
Education and career
[edit]Gaillard graduated from the University of Melbourne medical school in 1998 and trained in radiology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.[1][2] He undertook additional neuroradiology fellowship training in Canada and later returned to the Royal Melbourne Hospital as a consultant neuroradiologist.[1] His clinical and research interests include central nervous system tumour imaging and computer-aided MRI interpretation.[1]
Radiopaedia
[edit]Gaillard created Radiopaedia.org in 2005 while training in radiology, initially as a way to store and organise digital teaching material, and developed it into an open, collaborative radiology reference and case repository inspired in part by wiki-based models of online knowledge sharing.[3][1] In academic publishing, Gaillard has disclosed his role as founder, chief executive, and editor of Radiopaedia.org.[4] He has once recounted that Wikipedia was his source for inspiration in creating this resource.[3]
Studies of radiology trainees' information-seeking behaviour have identified Radiopaedia among the commonly used resources in on-call settings.[5]
Honours
[edit]In 2021, Gaillard was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) for contributions to radiology education, including his work on Radiopaedia.org.[2]
