.#Pathology education has historically depended on geography, institutional privilege, cost, and access. We wanted to challenge that. What started during the chaos of COVID became something much bigger.
Our new paper on @PathElective shows that a free, virtual, globally accessible pathology education platform reached learners across nearly every region of the world, across diverse backgrounds, training levels, identities, and lived experiences. More importantly, the data tell a deeper story.
Nearly a quarter of respondents reported difficulty accessing reliable internet. Less than half grew up in English-speaking households. Many were balancing jobs while training. And yet, 76% felt PathElective was more accessible than traditional educational resources, while 72% felt it filled an unmet educational need. That matters because education should not belong only to those born into the “right” systems.
For years, pathology has talked about visibility, access, pipeline development, and global engagement. This project was an attempt to actually build something instead of just talking about it.
Proud of this work and proud of the incredible collaborators who helped create PathElective. Proud that a pathology platform built with generosity and community at its core could reach people from around the world.
And honestly, I think this is just the beginning of what democratized medical education can become.

Although I couldn’t be there in person due to flight cancellations, @KMirza and I had an amazing time presenting our work on @PathElective during the joint session on the #MedEd resources available in the UME to GME transition in pathology.

Great discussion surrounding the UME to GME transition in #pathology education! What a pleasure it was to co-speak with @cullen_lilley on the critical nature of this junction in our trainees education and the value of @PathElective - #UMEDs session @apcprods #AAPATH24

Emerging trends in pathology education emphasize the integration of digital tools and interprofessional collaboration, ensuring that future pathologists are equipped for evolving medical landscapes. #PathologyEducation #MedEd #DigitalInnovation - inspired by how Dr. Plummer took @PathElective to the next level! @cullen_lilley @UMichPath

PathElective and AceMyPath provide new undergraduate-postgraduate curricula based on digital tools. They are comprehensive source of pathology education, that release official standalone certifications and can be integrated into official training programs as it actually occurred

I am so excited to announce the newest @AceMyPath textbook: A Concise Review of Clinical Microbiology. This book is a group effort from numerous passionate microbiologist and laboratorians from around the world who wanted to offer a comprehensive but concise review of clinical microbial diversity. I hope this book is helpful to future generations of trainees preparing for board exams, and I can’t wait to hear what you all think!

It's hard to believe a year has passed since I applied to #Pathology residency. Since #pathmatch2024 applicants will start interviewing soon, I wanted to share the notetaking sheet I used to keep all the program information straight (link below) #PathTwitter

Today was my last day in #Chicago. The last 4 years have been a roller coaster of emotions, but it was all worth it to find my #path2path (and meet some amazing people along the way). Thank you @loyolapathology esp. @KMirza, @eva_wojcik, et al. for everything
