The major advantages and disadvantages of the online approach to morphology teaching
Advantages of online approach Disadvantages of online approach Ability to continue with morphology training Cannot fully replicate the microscopy experience Enables participation of those unable to attend in-person training (eg those shielding or in self-isolation) Adds to the screen time and virtual meeting burden for participants Increased numbers participating Potential to lose the advantages of small group teaching More interdisciplinary training and discussion Potential to lose focus on the needs of the core group (clinical haematologists) Use of the asynchronous material to prepare may encourage participation of less confident trainees Preparation of the asynchronous material is time consuming Similar experience to participation in virtual MDTs and other clinical meetings Does not reflect the current format of the FRCPath Part 2 examination MDTs = multidisciplinary team meetings.
