The importance of molecular pathology tests has increased during the last decade, and there is a great need for efficient training of molecular pathology for pathology trainees and as continued medical education.
The Molecular Pathology Study Group of the Korean Society of Pathologists appointed a task force composed of experienced molecular pathologists to develop a refined educational curriculum of molecular pathology. A 3-day online educational session was held based on the newly established structure of learning objectives; the audience were asked to score their understanding of 22 selected learning objectives before and after the session to assess the effect of structured education.
The structured objectives and goals of molecular pathology was established and posted as a web-based interface which can serve as a knowledge bank of molecular pathology. A total of 201 pathologists participated in the educational session. For all 22 learning objectives, the scores of self-reported understanding increased after educational session by 9.9 points on average (range, 6.6 to 17.0). The most effectively improved items were objectives from next-generation sequencing (NGS) section: 'NGS library preparation and quality control' (score increased from 51.8 to 68.8), 'NGS interpretation of variants and reference database' (score increased from 54.1 to 68.0), and 'whole genome, whole exome, and targeted gene sequencing' (score increased from 58.2 to 71.2). Qualitative responses regarding the adequacy of refined educational curriculum were collected, where favorable comments dominated.
Approach toward the education of molecular pathology was refined, which would greatly benefit the future trainees.
在过去十年中，分子病理学检测的重要性日益增加，病理学实习生和继续医学教育对高效的分子病理学培训有巨大需求。
韩国病理学家协会分子病理学研究组任命了一个由经验丰富的分子病理学家组成的特别工作组，以制定完善的分子病理学教育课程。基于新确立的学习目标结构举办了为期3天的在线教育课程；要求学员在课程前后对22个选定的学习目标的理解进行评分，以评估结构化教育的效果。
确立了分子病理学的结构化目标和目的，并作为基于网络的界面发布，可作为分子病理学的知识库。共有201名病理学家参加了此次教育课程。对于所有22个学习目标，教育课程后自我报告的理解得分平均提高了9.9分（范围为6.6至17.0）。改善最有效的项目是来自下一代测序（NGS）部分的目标：“NGS文库制备和质量控制”（得分从51.8提高到68.8）、“变异的NGS解读和参考数据库”（得分从54.1提高到68.0）以及“全基因组、全外显子组和靶向基因测序”（得分从58.2提高到71.2）。收集了关于完善教育课程适当性的定性反馈，其中好评占主导。
分子病理学教育方法得到了完善，这将使未来的学员受益匪浅。
