Digital teaching, including virtual microscopy and online lectures, is transforming surgical pathology education. Blended learning, combining digital tools with in-person instruction, is key for optimal student success.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Digital Pathology
  • E-learning

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital teaching methods in higher education.
  • Surgical pathology, a technology-intensive field, was already integrating digital tools before the pandemic.
  • Digitalization has become crucial for restructuring educational delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present various e-learning formats used in teaching surgical pathology and neuropathology.
  • To illustrate the integration of digital tools in medical education at University Medical Center Mainz.

Main Methods:

  • Virtual microscopy using scanned slides and digital slide servers.
  • Asynchronous lectures, macroscopy videos, and video conferences.
  • Online learning platforms, electronic exams, and blended learning approaches.

Main Results:

  • Virtual microscopy has increasingly replaced traditional glass slides in pathology institutes.
  • Digital learning resources like online lectures and videos are becoming essential complements.
  • Electronic exams are now a standard component of pathology education.
  • The pandemic highlighted the importance of personal interaction for effective learning.

Conclusions:

  • Digital teaching, as part of blended learning, effectively complements face-to-face instruction.
  • E-learning formats are permanently changing surgical pathology education and will persist post-pandemic.
  • Digital learning will likely replace traditional formats like lectures to some extent.
