Development of Interactive Hematology Atlas/Teaching Database for Resident Education and Resident Attitudes and Feedback Toward Full Field Microscopy
Objective:
With the temporary eclipse of standard in person teaching by the pandemic, digital histopathology served as an important alternative While this modality has been used in Anatomic Pathology, the field of hematology has not yet witnessed an equivalent explosion in digital pathology We aimed to develop and utilize an online, cloud based hematology educational database with some degree of user interactivity.

Conclusion:
Full-Field digital morphology provides a more comprehensive educational alternative to textbook atlases The ability to interact with scanned images provides a better learning experience than static images of cells alone, and can thus serve as an important educational tool for residents.
