Abstract:
During cadaveric dissection or prosection, medical students frequently encounter pathology that can be a springboard to further learning. We designed a novel educational activity linking anatomy, histology, and pathology that incorporated self-directed learning and teamwork, followed by feedback and instruction from pathologists. Post-activity, more than 97% of students rated the activity as useful (Likert scale of 1 to 5), indicating this activity should be continued in the future. Strengths included self-directed learning, content and design, and teamwork, peer, and faculty interactions. Clarity of assignment expectations, range of pathologies, and virtual presentation format remained areas for improvement.
