Comparison of educational methods for medical students

Comparison of educational methods for medical students

Introduction
Digital imaging is a useful tool for laboratory hematology education. Although digital presentations (eg. digital atlases) are increasingly common for medical education, interactive multimedia programs have not been well established.

We therefore wished to develop a digital educational program of laboratory hematology for medical students, which is also utilized for proficiency testing. In our trials, we recognized that the CellaVision Competency Software is close to an ideal educational and testing program with its image-based, feedback approach. Immediately after testing, participants are shown their results, including a cell by cell comparison with examiner, and an attainment level compared to the other participants.

Materials and Methods
In this study, we utilized… Read more »

CellaVision in collaboration with Swedish IBL

CellaVision in collaboration with Swedish IBL

CellaVisions is proud to participate in the education of future morphology specialists. In May the Swedish Institute of Biomedical Laboratory Science, IBL, organizes a course in morphological classification of blood cells. Helene Johansson, Section Leader Hematological diagnosis/Morphology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden, explains the course like this:

“The three day course has a number of disease themes such as, anemia, myeloproliferative disorders, lymphoproliferative disorders, myelodysplastic syndromes and acute leukemia. Participants will work interactively with morphological cell images collected by the CellaVision DM96 analyzer. By using the CellaVision Competency Software participants will be trained in the classification of leukocytes and how to assess the morphology of the leukocytes, erythrocytes and platelets. ”… Read more »
