Abstract

Pathology residents and pathologists used digital pathology, a web conferencing software, and an online game-based learning platform during an online seminar held by the Royal College of Pathologists of Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic. They had satisfactory performance and viewed these technological advances as potential modalities for pathology education.
