Algorithmic Approach in Cytopathology : A Mode of Training the New Residents

Objectives: To compare the traditional teaching with algorithm or flowchart-based method in cytology and to assess performance of newly joined residents cytopathology after training them algorithm-based approach. Materials & Methods: The study included 20 who were divided into two groups I.e., group A B was conducted different sets. In set 1, trained algorithmic approach by theoretical for 10 cytological cases thyroid breast. 2, taught salivary gland lymph node. both sets assessed pre-test post-test scores given based on their ability diagnose lesions before training. feedback utility received from participated study. Results: compared using Mann Whitney U test found that residents’ greater than residents. Similarly 2 be better 1. Conclusion: is a unique which enhances case solving skills effective reasoning Keywords: Algorithm approach, Cytopathology, FNAC, Pathology resident
