"Starting from the Image": A Tele-pathology Pre-graduate Course Aimed at Motivating Medical Students.

In the tele-course entitled "Starting from the image", medical students are confronted with practical tasks in relevant professional contexts. Initially, a macroscopic or microscopic image of a patient case is presented to learners who then receive relevant information on the patient's history, clinical findings, and other laboratory tests. A pathologist actively discusses the pathological findings; then, a clinician explains their implications for the patient's individualized treatment and prognosis.

Experiential student study groups: perspectives on medical education in the post-COVID-19 period.

Background: Undergraduate medical curricula often fail to integrate experiential learning methodologies. Thus, a pilot series of interactive pathology lessons was designed and implemented in an attempt to promote experiential learning.

Methods: Thirty pre-graduate medical students voluntarily participated in the interactive study groups at the First Department of Pathology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Medical School.

Asynchronous E-learning after synchronous E-learning in the pathology course. When is the proper time for this transition?

Background: Recordings of live streaming e-lessons of pathology at medical school of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece are uploaded to the e-class portfolio of each student enrolled in the course. We measured the number of views each video received and noticed that this number exceeded the number of enrolled students. Our main aim was to investigate the correlation between the upload of an educational video and the views it got so as to determine when the proper time is for professors to e-share or upload an educational video for the students.

Evaluating e-Learning in the Pathology Course During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Purpose: Synchronous and asynchronous e-learning is a promising and effective educational method for the delivery of medical lessons. Due to the public health measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, our Pathology Department faced the challenge of a total online transition of the lessons. Therefore, the aim is to evaluate the aspects of the applied e-learning method they received.

Participation and Interactivity in Synchronous E-Learning Pathology Course During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Purpose Of The Article: Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, educational institutions had to utilize online platform solutions to deliver their curriculum. We conducted this study to explore participation and interactivity in a synchronous e-learning non-mandatory participation course in pathology at a medical school in Greece. The knowledge acquired is expected to be instrumental in the development of educational practices.
