Abstract

Medical education is currently facing great changes that affect all medical specialties, including anatomical pathology. Due to rapidly increasing medical knowledge and diagnostic complexity, we are living an era of teaching resources mutualization. We present different tools that allow large numbers of students to access courses, self-evaluations, and competencies assessments. MOOC platforms and e-learning platforms are central to these new online tools, which include the French National Platform of Medical Specialties, dedicated to the teaching of 50,000 medical residents in France. We also discuss "serious games" and the use of images and virtual slides in anatomical pathology teaching. These new modalities can deliver essential knowledge to large student populations, but they must be used in conjunction with adapted teacher-led courses focusing on competencies and professional skills in order to be fully effective.
