Purpose of the Study:
- To present a fictional case study as a practical learning tool.
- To support the curriculum outlined by the PCME national standards.
Main Methods:
- Development of a fictional case study.
- Integration of the case study into pathology education.
Main Results:
- The case study effectively illustrates key pathology concepts.
- It facilitates learning across the three PCME competencies.
Conclusions:
- Fictional case studies are valuable for medical education in pathology.
- This resource aids in achieving PCME learning objectives.
