Transforming Pathology Teaching with Digital Technology

The University of Vermont (UVM) College of Medicine has embraced digital technology to enhance pathology education. This initiative, led by faculty including Dr. Nicholas Hardin and Dr. Jill Jemison, integrates advanced tools like virtual microscopy, podcasting, and more into the curriculum. As one of the oldest medical schools in the U.S., UVM serves 434 medical students and offers innovative learning experiences. This transformation has facilitated group learning, streamlined slide sharing, and provided students with more accessible study resources, proving to be a significant advancement in medical education.

  29. How Digital Technology has changed our teaching • Dark room to light • One person at a scope to entire group seeing same slide/discussing • Changing or inserting slide into lab much easier (one scanned vs. 120 copies) • Easier to share special stains, cytology, needle biopsies, unique specimens • Students asked for and got more videos

  30. Feedback • “I thought that the virtual microscope was a great tool to study histology. I really liked being able to study and work with the slides where ever I was, and not having to cart around a microscope.”

  31. Lessons learned • It takes money and time, so have high-level support • Plan and budget to scan more slides that you currently use • Faculty were initially against digital scope, but are now on board and enjoying it • We at UVM have only begun to tap the potential of these powerful tools
