Episode 181: Dr Bronwyn Bryant - Redefining Pathology Training With Entrustable Professional Activities
Today my guest is Dr. Bronwyn Bryant, a pathologist and pathology educator.
Dr. Bryant has been involved in the National EPA Working Group, focused on implementing Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) in pathology residency programs.
The group conducted a pilot study on EPAs and is now working on developing an electronic tool to facilitate the completion of EPAs in real-time.
Dr. Bryant is passionate about using EPAs to provide more specific and actionable feedback to residents, ultimately improving the learning and assessment experiences. She is also interested in studying the impact of EPAs on resident training.
Dr. Bryant emphasizes the importance of faculty development in using EPAs effectively and believes that this method can lead to a culture shift in pathology education.

Episode 179: Marissa Spencer - Improving Pathology Education: The Importance of Understanding Why
Pathologists' Assistant Marissa Spencer returns to the podcast and we take a deep dive into the concept of teaching "why" vs teaching "how."
Understanding the Why: Marissa emphasized the significance of not just memorizing steps but truly understanding the rationale behind each action in pathology. By grasping the "why" behind the procedures, learners can apply their knowledge effectively to different cases, ensuring thorough and accurate work.
Utilizing Specimen Photography: Marissa highlighted the underutilized value of specimen photography in pathology. Photos of normal specimens serve as invaluable reference points for learners, aiding in the recognition of abnormalities and enhancing descriptive skills. By capturing images of both normal and abnormal findings, learners can enhance their understanding and communication in the field.
Enhancing Gross Description Skills: Marissa shared practical tips for improving gross description skills, such as avoiding generic terms like "unremarkable" and instead focusing on detailed and descriptive language. By describing normal findings accurately, learners can build confidence in articulating abnormalities, ultimately leading to more precise and effective communication in pathology.
