WebPath: The Internet Pathology Laboratory for Medical Education
"This free site consists of over 1,900 images, tutorials, laboratory exercises, examination items, and other instructional and reference materials. Images, both microscopic and gross, are organized by general pathology, demonstrating basic mechanisms of disease (neoplasia, cellular injury), and by organ system (cardiovascular, gastrointestinal). The current (June 2008) edition of Klatt's Pathology of AIDS is included. Because knowledge of normal anatomy and histology is vital to an understanding of pathology, this site offers tutorials covering normal anatomy via photography, MRI, and electron microscopy.
The site's 16 mini-tutorials integrate textual information with links to relevant images. Reference manuals for preparing and staining histological samples are included. In addition to the wide range of available images, the site's strong points include the case-based examination items and image-based quiz items. These offerings support the trend in health sciences education to teach preclinical material within a clinical context to improve learners' understanding of how one is integral to the other. This site covers a broad range of pathologies, and some viewers may find certain images (especially those in forensic pathology and prenatal/perinatal pathology) disturbing." from Choice, June 2009.
