Fabulous work.

.#Pathology education has historically depended on geography, institutional privilege, cost, and access. We wanted to challenge that. What started during the chaos of COVID became something much bigger. Our new paper on @PathElective shows that a free, virtual, globally accessible pathology education platform reached learners across nearly every region of the world, across diverse backgrounds, training levels, identities, and lived experiences. More importantly, the data tell a deeper story. Nearly a quarter of respondents reported difficulty accessing reliable internet. Less than half grew up in English-speaking households. Many were balancing jobs while training. And yet, 76% felt PathElective was more accessible than traditional educational resources, while 72% felt it filled an unmet educational need. That matters because education should not belong only to those born into the “right” systems. For years, pathology has talked about visibility, access, pipeline development, and global engagement. This project was an attempt to actually build something instead of just talking about it. Proud of this work and proud of the incredible collaborators who helped create PathElective. Proud that a pathology platform built with generosity and community at its core could reach people from around the world. And honestly, I think this is just the beginning of what democratized medical education can become. @AcadPathol @apcprods @UMichPath #Pathology #MedEd #MedicalEducation #DigitalPathology #PathTwitter #FOAMed #GlobalHealth #Hematopathology #PathElective #AcademicMedicine #MedicalStudents #Residency #MedicalEducationResearch clinicalkey.com/#!/content/p…

🌍 When COVID-19 paused medical training, @kmirza and @cullen_lilley, built @PathElective — a free online pathology platform now used in 150 countries. 🌍 🎥 Hear how they turned an idea into a worldwide movement for accessible medical education. ow.ly/zazt50XjLMu #PathX

This is AWESOME! Not only getting this for kids but I will get one for myself! Can we have a book club? Maybe at ASH? 🧡

That’s great. Congrats. 🎉🍾

What started as an idea to help medical students understand what pathologists do — became a worldwide movement for equitable, accessible education @cullen_lilley @apcprods Grateful to share the story of @PathElective with @pathologistmag and to highlight how digital learning continues to bridge gaps in training across more than 150 countries. This journey has always been powered by community, collaboration, and compassion proving that innovation in medical education doesn’t need borders! thepathologist.com/issues/20… #PathElective #PathologyEducation #MedicalEducation #DigitalPathology #GlobalHealth #InnovationInEducation

Gelatinous transformation of bone marrow = a jelly-like matrix replacing fat and hematopoietic cells. Seen in HIV, malnutrition, chronic illness, and cachexia. Adipocytes vanish, marrow thins out, and mucopolysaccharides fill the gaps. A marrow literally starving for energy. #Pathology #Hemepath #BoneMarrow #HIV #MedEd #PathTwitter #Histology #PathElective @UMichPath @UMichMedSchool @umichmedicine

I wouldn’t be here without your mentorship. Thank you for always supporting and believing in me

Kudos to both of you!

Congratulations @cullen_lilley 🎉 Also kudos to @KMirza for being such an outstanding mentor, sponsor and educator to so many pathologists and lab professionals

Bravo @cullen_lilley! Chair of the @Pathologists Residents Forum is such a well-deserved honor, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish in this role. 💫

Wonderful to spend time with the physicians who have been instrumental in our understanding of pathology Dr. @ZhaiJim & Dr. @KMirza! (all residents pictured are indebted to @PathElective and the work of @FLPathologists 🥲) @USFpathology #CAP25
