Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of asynchronous video material as a supplementary educational tool for trainees in hematopathology. Traditional pedagogical methods often rely heavily on faculty involvement, potentially limiting the breadth of information trainees receive due to constraints in faculty time and the variety of cases covered in a limited time interval/rotation. Asynchronous video-based learning presents a potential solution to these challenges. This concept has been utilized effectively in various fields of medical education. In this study, we describe our implementation of an educational program utilizing asynchronous video material to supplement traditional learning methods for peripheral blood smear interpretation for learners on a hematopathology clerkship. Following a pre-test/post-test assessment with 13 trainees, we analyzed the correlation between video viewing percentage and changes in test scores. The results indicate an improvement in test scores following exposure to video content, supporting the positive impact of asynchronous video material on hematopathology education. Trainees had positive feedback regarding this new educational tool. This study suggests that such self-directed learning could enhance traditional teaching methods, ensuring broader and more consistent coverage of hematopathology concepts.

通过异步视频材料加强血液病理学外周血涂片教学：试点报告

本研究探讨了异步视频材料作为血液病理学学员辅助教学工具的有效性。传统的教学方法通常严重依赖于教师的参与，由于教师时间有限以及在有限的时间间隔/轮转中涉及的病例种类繁多，可能会限制学员获得信息的广度。异步视频学习为解决这些难题提供了一个潜在的解决方案。这一概念已在医学教育的各个领域得到有效应用。在本研究中，我们介绍了利用异步视频材料辅助血液病理学实习学员外周血涂片解读传统学习方法的教育计划的实施情况。在对 13 名学员进行测试前/测试后评估后，我们分析了视频观看比例与测试分数变化之间的相关性。结果表明，在观看视频内容后，考试成绩有所提高，这也证明了异步视频材料对血液病理学教育的积极影响。学员们对这一新的教育工具反馈积极。这项研究表明，这种自主学习可以加强传统的教学方法，确保血液病理学概念的覆盖面更广、更一致。

期刊介绍： Academic Pathology is an open access journal sponsored by the Association of Pathology Chairs, established to give voice to the innovations in leadership and management of academic departments of Pathology. These innovations may have impact across the breadth of pathology and laboratory medicine practice. Academic Pathology addresses methods for improving patient care (clinical informatics, genomic testing and data management, lab automation, electronic health record integration, and annotate biorepositories); best practices in inter-professional clinical partnerships; innovative pedagogical approaches to medical education and educational program evaluation in pathology; models for training academic pathologists and advancing academic career development; administrative and organizational models supporting the discipline; and leadership development in academic medical centers, health systems, and other relevant venues. Intended authorship and audiences for Academic Pathology are international and reach beyond academic pathology itself, including but not limited to healthcare providers, educators, researchers, and policy-makers.
