Improving Medical Students’ Learning Experience of Pathology by Online Practical Sessions through Virtual Microscopy

ABSTRACT:
 Objective: To assess the impact of interactive virtual pathology slides on students’ understanding pathological disease processes.
 Materials & Methods: The study was conducted at Shifa College medicine, Islamabad. Class 3rd year MBBS, comprising 111 students, divided into two groups during teaching modules. All students received online lectures prior to practical sessions. In first module, one group taught through sessions, whereas second same set slides, using light microscopy and glass slides. Both were assessed end module by test their scores compared. Similar exercise repeated in which control became remove selection bias. Questionnaire feedback taken from get perceptions. results compared applying t-test p-value calculated.
 Results: mean score (group-1) 14.90 (group-2) 10.99. t applied, calculated significant (p=0.04). flipped. 14.29 10.09. p value again gave questionnaire.
 Conclusion: Overall, we believe that use significantly improves student’s lesions.
