Oral Presentation Indian Ocean Rim Laboratory Haematology Congress 2019

Is there a better way to teach blood film morphology to beginners?

Each year most of us face the task of helping new scientists or pathologists learn the complex skill of analyzing the blood film. While it is rewarding work, we know that the availability and expertise of the teachers varies.

What if students could access an online course at their own pace, learn a systematic approach, and prove their competence by completing an assessment?

Dr Matt Wright is working with UWA to develop this course. Key benefits of the course include:

• 22 video lectures available online to any subscriber
• Teaching and reinforcing a simple method for red cell, white cell and platelet analysis. Special Lectures on paediatics, pregnancy and malaria
• Regular quizzes
• Stimulating visual teaching aides
• The potential to translate into multiple languages
• An end of course assessment complete with a certificate of completion

During his lecture, Matt will demonstrate key aspects of this course and discuss its implementation in Indian Ocean rim nations
