Pathology residency programs increasingly offer informatics training, but resource limitations and lack of structured programs hinder effective computer and information technology education for future pathologists.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Pathology Education

Background:

  • Computers and information technology are integral to modern pathology practice.
  • Pathology residency programs require adaptation to include essential informatics training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current state of informatics training in United States and Canadian pathology residency programs.
  • To evaluate instructional methods, computer availability, and training structures.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to 176 pathology residency programs in the US and Canada.
  • Eighty-four programs (48% response rate) provided data on informatics training components.

Main Results:

  • 90% of programs offer informatics training, with 68% requiring it.

  • Hands-on microcomputer experience and tutors are common instructional methods.
  • While computer availability is high (94%), only 60% of residents have assigned individual computers.
  • Trends show increased offering/requiring of informatics but fewer dedicated rotations compared to 1993.

    • Conclusions:

    • Informatics training is recognized as important in pathology residency.
    • Inadequate resources and a lack of formal, structured programs may impede effective informatics education.
