Providing effective training, retraining and evaluation programs, including proficiency testing programs, for cytoprofessionals is a challenge shared by many academic and clinical educators internationally. In cytopathology the quality of training has immediately transferable and critically important impacts on satisfactory performance in the clinical setting. Well-designed interactive computer-assisted instruction and testing programs have been shown to enhance initial learning and to reinforce factual and conceptual knowledge. Computer systems designed not only to promote diagnostic accuracy but to integrate and streamline work flow in clinical service settings are candidates for educational adaptation. The AcCell 2000 system, designed as a diagnostic screening support system, offers technology that is adaptable to educational needs during basic and in-service training as well as testing of screening proficiency in both locator and identification skills. We describe the considerations, approaches and applications of the AcCell 2000 system in education programs for both training and evaluation of gynecologic diagnostic screening proficiency.
为细胞专业人员提供有效的培训、再培训和评估项目,包括能力测试项目,是国际上许多学术和临床教育工作者共同面临的挑战。在细胞病理学中,培训质量对临床环境中的满意表现具有直接可转移且至关重要的影响。精心设计的交互式计算机辅助教学和测试项目已被证明能增强初始学习并强化事实性和概念性知识。设计不仅用于提高诊断准确性,还用于整合和简化临床服务环境中的工作流程的计算机系统适合进行教育改编。AcCell 2000系统设计为诊断筛查支持系统,提供的技术可适应基础培训和在职培训期间的教育需求,以及定位和识别技能筛查熟练度测试。我们描述了AcCell 2000系统在妇科诊断筛查熟练度培训和评估教育项目中的考虑因素、方法及应用。
