What is Unmasking Disease: Insights from the Pathology Lab discuss at the 13EPUCG Conference?

UnmaskingDisease: Insights from the Pathology Lab" refers to a concept that involves gaining a deeper understanding of diseases by examining and analyzing biological samples in a pathology laboratory. It signifies the process of uncovering hidden aspects of diseases, such as their underlying causes, cellular and tissue changes, and diagnostic markers, through the lens of pathology.

In the pathology lab, various techniques and methodologies are employed to study tissues, organs, and bodily fluids. These include histopathology, immunohistochemistry, molecular diagnostics, and genetic testing, among others. By meticulously examining these samples, pathologists can provide valuable insights into the nature of diseases, their progression, and their impact on the body.

The title "Unmasking Disease: Insights from the Pathology Lab" suggests that the blog or content series bearing this title would explore the fascinating world of pathology, shedding light on the intricate details of diseases that may not be immediately apparent. It would offer readers a glimpse into the diagnostic tools, research findings, and advancements in the field of pathology that contribute to our understanding of diseases and ultimately aid in their management and treatment.

An unanticipated challenge was that learners required to be on campus sometimes had a challenge getting to campus due to discontinuation of public transportation in and to Rochester, Minnesota. In addition, faculty and learner stress levels were elevated due to the uncertainty of the situation, social isolation, and concern about SARS-CoV-2 infection. For faculty, the need to rapidly adapt and sometimes deliver the same content multiple times to accommodate smaller group sizes, created additional work. For services with both in-person and distance learners, it was a challenge to remain aware of and integrate those joining remotely, into educational clinical discussions. Some lecturers found it challenging to present to distance learners who had their video feed turned off. Like in-person learning, the ability to “read the room” is important for lecturers to educate. Program directors had increased challenges identifying and assessing mental health issues and were overall more concerned with learners’ emotional well-being than their academic standing. As mentioned above, some learners found online learning itself to create stress because of dissociation from curricular content and lack of in person engagement with colleagues and faculty. Finally, for services where interactions between members of the health care team were essential for providing patient care, such as therapeutic apheresis, both the nursing staff and the residents described difficulties in communicating clearly, misunderstandings, and a “loss of trust” that was felt to be due to the virtual patient/education rounds. This type of situation has prompted a return of many in-person educational activities (with virtual options provided), with masking and physical distancing, as of March 1, 2021.

There were several lessons learned Despite the downsides of an almost fully virtual educational system, we anticipate that some educational activities adopted during the pandemic will remain virtual after the pandemic; this includes prerecorded videos, electronic proctoring, hybrid graduations, and the ability to “work from anywhere” for some staff. Lectures, core curriculum sessions, meetings, and interviews from this point forward should consider incorporating a virtual component for remote viewing/participation in addition to traditional in-person options, as this makes them more accessible, and practical, and just generally makes life a little easier. We learned that virtual sign-out is a viable option for medical education in pathology and can be used to facilitate the education of residents and fellows when the faculty and learner cannot physically be at the same site for any reason and also to educate “virtual visiting learners”. The Leadership & Management course should return to an in-person format, at least in part, post-pandemic. We made advances in virtual interviewing, and recognized the benefits of components of this strategy, such as content applicants can review ahead of time at their convenience, the live virtual meeting with recent alumni, and the virtual slide session featuring multiple diverse faculty members. We also learned that hosting visiting virtual rotations in health care can be challenging and that the administrative efforts and security measures needed warrant limiting future virtual visiting resident experiences to select situations. We started multi-institutional journal clubs, which continue to this day; others’ success with multi-institutional programs, such as the Breast Cases Challenge, have been described. 8 Nevertheless, trainees recognized the value of engaging with faculty in person and the associated positive learning experiences.

Greetings. We are organizing an in-person CME/CPD accredited The 13th Emirates Pathology, Digital Pathology & Cancer Conference, Which is scheduled to hold December 15-17, 2023, in Dubai UAE & Online. And we invite you to attend as a speaker/listener/poster. Please let me know if you are interested.
