“…Similar to the University of Minnesota, pathology departments across the world have converted the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic to an opportunity for developing their own virtual electives in both AP and CP. [16][17][18] Additionally, the online resource "PathElective" developed at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine provides a comprehensive and free elective for medical students to learn pathology from world-renowned pathologists in a virtual format. 19 This virtual space offers students access to learn from pathologists in a variety of settings, network with different pathology departments, and collaborate globally with other interested medical students.…”

Designing and Implementing a Virtual Anatomic Pathology Elective During the COVID-19 Pandemic

et al. 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic transformed conventional undergraduate medical education, converting previously in-person clerkships into virtual experiences. In order to allow students to gain exposure to the field of pathology, make connections with pathologists, and provide opportunities for letters of recommendation, the authors quickly developed a Virtual Anatomic Pathology Elective at the University of Minnesota. We succeeded in developing the foundation of a Virtual Anatomic Pathology Elective that allows for the rotation to be accessible not only to our medical students but also to international medical graduates and medical students from different programs. In 1 month, we were able to create a 4-week elective that was available before the start of the 2021 residency application season. We provided students with the closest possible experience to an in-person Anatomic Pathology Elective by developing an introductory week of lectures and assignments that provided structure for the rotation, introduced the field of anatomic pathology, and demonstrated the role of pathologists in health care. Furthermore, students attended virtual resident lectures and grand rounds, participated in virtual sign-out sessions, and presented an interesting case to the faculty at the end of their rotation. The goal was ultimately to customize the curriculum to students’ interests by making the rotation applicable to those applying to pathology as well as to other specialties (eg, general surgery, internal medicine, dermatology). Overall, we were able to design and implement a novel Virtual Anatomic Pathology Elective which we know can be effectively reproduced by other medical schools.

“…Medical school administrators looked for ways to fill this gap. Some institutions created ways to integrate medical students into clinical work, even though they were not physically present in the hospital [ 2 - 8 ]. With the incorporation of video conferencing platforms into patient care, some students cared for patients virtually, including remote observation and communication with patients and family members [ 9 ].…”

We aimed to determine whether it was feasible to assess medical students as they completed a virtual sub-internship. Six students (out of 31 who completed an in-person sub-internship) participated in a 2-week virtual sub-internship, caring for patients remotely. Residents and attendings assessed those 6 students in 15 domains using the same assessment measures from the in-person sub-internship. Raters marked “unable to assess” in 75/390 responses (19%) for the virtual sub-internship versus 88/3,405 (2.6%) for the in-person sub-internship (P=0.01), most frequently for the virtual sub-internship in the domains of the physical examination (21, 81%), rapport with patients (18, 69%), and compassion (11, 42%). Students received complete assessments in most areas. Scores were higher for the in-person than the virtual sub-internship (4.67 vs. 4.45, P<0.01) for students who completed both. Students uniformly rated the virtual clerkship positively. Students can be assessed in many domains in the context of a virtual sub-internship.

“…Digital disengagement, increased susceptibility to distractions, and teleconferencing fatigue have been noted by others. 4 - 6 Hassell et al conducted an online survey of pathology trainees, program directors, and faculty to assess pre- and post-COVID-19 use of, and response to, various digital pathology modalities and found that a majority of faculty and learners assessed that this shift had adversely affected the quality and effectiveness of teaching. 4 …”

Laboratory Medicine and Pathology Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic—Lessons Learned

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The rapidly spreading COVID-19 pandemic demanded immediate organizational pivots in departments of laboratory medicine and pathology, including development and implementation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 diagnostics in the face of unprecedented supply chain shortages. Laboratory medicine and pathology educational programs were affected in numerous ways. Here, we overview the effects of COVID-19 on the large, academic Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology educational practice at Mayo Clinic, highlighting lessons learned for the post-pandemic era and planning for the possibility of a future pandemic.
