Abstract

PathPics is an image review and tutorial program developed at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine as an adjunct to the preclinical Pathology and Histology curriculum. It incorporates faculty expertise and provides a framework for self-paced study of this visually-oriented material. The program is served over our wide area network and runs on color-capable Macintosh computers. PathPics was added to the curriculum in January, 1992, and has been enthusiastically received by the students.
