Pathology Residency Training
Penrose Hospital School of Clinical Laboratory Science
Keeping laboratory personnel current and certified represents an
enormous expense for a hospital.
In the lab, every laboratory technologist must have documentation in their
personnel file open to inspectors to prove to the inspectors (FDA, CAP,
JCAHO, AABB, etc.) that they have been trained to perform the lab
tests that they run, have been trained on the instruments that they use to
do the tests, and have been trained on the computers used to warehouse the
results.
Everyone who is trained must have a trainer, thus training becomes a
significant expense. These expenses are
magnified when there is a high turnover rate. The turnover rate in
phlebotomy services in most hospitals is
about 30% per year.
In a teaching hospital, the advantages of using QCShow become
especially obvious, particularly so for the training of residents
in pathology.
Histological methods form the foundation of pathology investigations.
Histology is the study of tissues of the body; the architecture and
relationship of different types of cells and the investigation of the
structure of individual cells: this morphology is demonstrated by using
biological dyes to stain thin sections of tissue. Histochemical and
immunological methods are used to reveal cell characteristics, while
cellular ultrastructure is demonstrated by electron microscopy.
The School of Clinical Laboratory Science at Penrose processes over
21,000 surgical cases and over 100 autopsy cases each year.
Residents learn pathology by viewing tens of thousands of sectioned slides
during their residency period. QCShow is a mechanism by which
this essential process can be made available to anyone any time of the
day or night.
Dr. Barry Lawshe, Director of Clinical Pathology, has been converting
his lectures to QCShow format, creating an on-line library of
training material. One of his lectures is presented here:
Introduction to Gastric
Pathology (Excluding the GE Junction)
Barry Lawshe, MD
Director of Clinical Pathology, Penrose Hospital
96 kbps
The bit rate of this lecture
is higher than most QCShow presentations because of the large
number of slides (213) that occur during the 55 minute presentation.
High-quality images are obviously critical for scientific lectures,
especially for pathology, but they are the default state in QCShow.
