There is increasing interest in the utility of digital pathology in the diagnostic setting. Successful transition requires guidance and training, but additionally an understanding of opinions and attitudes of histopathologists to ensure that potential barriers are addressed. Histopathology trainees as a group are likely to be at the forefront of this revolution, and have specific and as yet largely neglected training needs in this context. We designed an online survey for trainees within our region to capture their opinions and attitudes to digital pathology in the diagnostic setting, and to assess their perceived training needs. This survey indicates overall that these trainees have similar aspirations with regard to the predicted utility of digital pathology and the challenges faced as have been recognised among consultant histopathologists. While their training needs are also largely similar, there are specific additional considerations based around training in multiple centres with varying exposure to digital pathology.
人们对数字病理学在诊断环境中的应用越来越感兴趣。成功的过渡需要指导和培训，但还需要了解病理学家的意见和态度，以确保解决潜在的障碍。病理科住院医师作为一个群体，可能处于这场革命的前沿，并且在这方面有具体的、但尚未得到充分重视的培训需求。我们为我们所在地区的住院医师设计了一份在线调查，以了解他们对诊断环境中数字病理学的意见和态度，并评估他们认为的培训需求。这项调查表明，这些住院医师总体上对数字病理学的预期效用和面临的挑战有类似的期望，这些问题在顾问病理学家中已经得到了认可。虽然他们的培训需求也大致相似，但也有一些具体的额外考虑因素，这些因素涉及在不同的数字病理学接触环境下在多个中心进行培训。
