Development of New Computerized Teaching Methods
The department has hardware, software and personnel to produce virtual slides and interactive learning modules. National Library of Medicine (NLM) grants have supported equipment and programming for virtual slide educational projects (see: The Virtual Slidebox and Case Analysis). With another NLM grant we are developing computer assisted patient simulations for medical student and house staff education (LabCAPS), which aim to teach efficiency and cost effectiveness of laboratory test ordering and interpretation, including anatomic pathology. A third ongoing project is development and evaluation of computerized pathway diagramming exercises. Students create mechanistic case-based diagrams which facilitate learning of pathogenesis and pathophysiology of the disease process and the associated clinical signs/symptoms and laboratory abnormalities presented in a clinical scenario.
