A required medical student collaborative case presentation with a pathologist in the surgery clerkship
In medical education, pathology has traditionally been concentrated in only the preclinical years, often without sufficient emphasis on its practical application in clinical practice. Correspondingly, medical students' interest in pathology as a career has been low. To address this issue and foster a deeper understanding of pathology's clinical relevance and encourage appropriate utilization, we introduced a required exposure to pathology in the surgery clerkship featuring clinicopathological case review in a small group setting. Unlike other approaches, we wanted to create a program that concentrates on pathology cases directly linked to patients whom students cared for during their clerkship rotation, emphasizing the relevance of pathology diagnosis. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from participating students, who report an increased awareness of pathology's importance in patient management and of the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration between pathologists and clinicians. A notable feature of this program is its relatively low time and personnel requirements, which facilitate inclusion in the busy clerkship and acceptance in the Department of Pathology. Challenges, such as timely case selection and administrative co-ordination, are being addressed to optimize the program's implementation. In the future, we are considering expanding this model to other clerkships. By rekindling interest in pathology through practical engagement and highlighting its real-world relevance, this approach offers a promising strategy to counteract recruitment challenges in this crucial medical field.
期刊介绍:
Academic Pathology is an open access journal sponsored by the Association of Pathology Chairs, established to give voice to the innovations in leadership and management of academic departments of Pathology. These innovations may have impact across the breadth of pathology and laboratory medicine practice. Academic Pathology addresses methods for improving patient care (clinical informatics, genomic testing and data management, lab automation, electronic health record integration, and annotate biorepositories); best practices in inter-professional clinical partnerships; innovative pedagogical approaches to medical education and educational program evaluation in pathology; models for training academic pathologists and advancing academic career development; administrative and organizational models supporting the discipline; and leadership development in academic medical centers, health systems, and other relevant venues. Intended authorship and audiences for Academic Pathology are international and reach beyond academic pathology itself, including but not limited to healthcare providers, educators, researchers, and policy-makers.
