YONG LOO LIN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE PATHOLOGY RESOURCE

WELCOME TO PATHWEB

“ …it helps me visualise the conditions and how each pathology will present. it has improved my understanding a lot and i appreciate all the work that has been put into this!”
~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“ Its very helpful in deepening my understanding and I used it extensively for my revision. I think it can greatly benefit future batches.” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

The pots are of high resolution, and we are able to zoom in and out and rotate it as if we are examining the specimen in our own hands” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“With the virtual pathology museum, we have access to more knowledge and this supplements our learning. Furthermore, pathology specimens are not widely available online. Thus, this is a very precious resource too.” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“I like how the pots are annotated clearly and can be rotated/ zoomed in and out for us to better appreciate the pathology (as opposed to looking at a low resolution image) thank you....for pathweb it’s a truly valuable resource :-)” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“The virtual pathology museum really has become an indispensable part of my pathology learning.” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“the annotated slides, that go from low to high resolution. it helps me tremendously with my learning experience and revision” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“... It caters to many different forms of learning, including active recall with "test your diagnosis skills!", the wide range of pots and histology slides to browse through, videos andn mindmaps to have a big picture view of the overall topic, and not forgetting the notes as well to consolidate the learning.” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“More immersive” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“very helpful in understanding patho and its conditions. being able to see different cases helps me to consolidate and test my learning in a coordinated manner” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“It has resources across all the pathology topics in one space for med students to conveniently learn from” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“ ... there are different mediums to learn - observing the histology slides, having different views of the pots, mindmaps to describe the big picture, clinical scenarios for application...” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“It has a hands on approach and is useful for students who are visual learners such as myself” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“Pathweb combines pots, mindmap videos, and quizzes all in one seamless, easy to navigate and user friendly website. It allows students to consolidate learning and fill up the gaps in their learning :)” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“I love pathweb, because it gives me a structure to study, especially with the mind maps. They help to direct me and give me an approach to tackling a specific topic....” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“.....I'm very grateful to still be able to learn from Pathweb using the pots and histology annotations even during COVID.....” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“it's definitely more interactive and easier to find information, especially for shy students and it's really a treasure trove of knowledge” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“It is the best resource for revision and obtaining a holistic understanding of each topic. Goes into detail yet organised in a simple and clear way that facilitates understanding.” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“ … it allows for visualisation of different conditions in a way that really cannot be matched by anything else.” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“a refreshing resource when theres always a lot of content to study for!” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student

“....enables me to take charge of my own learning....” ~ NUSMed Year 2 student
