Click on the DESCRIPTION boxes or move the mouse over them to see how they may be described.

This blog explains the basic concepts of pathology very well for beginners like me. It has also given me a heads up on what’s in store for pathology this academic year. Thanks a lot for this resource. 🙂
Thanks Dr Nga for a really comprehensive and helpful guide for patho!!! Learnt alot from it and thanks so much for all the effort and time you must have put into this 🙂
This is really good, thank you very much 🙂 I’d love more practices!
Easier to have a button to click to show answers, instead of mousing over (because after awhile, the label that appears upon mousing over disappears, then you have to take your mouse off the picture and put it over the picture again to see the label)
Thanks for the good suggestion. Let me work on it to see if it is possible.
Have added Description boxes which are drop down boxes. Do try it out!
Hi,
More practices would be good. Perhaps there can be a section for us to practice histological specimens as well?
Hi, that’s an interesting idea. I will see if I can put in more practice cases in newer chapters. Or else, you can look at video without sound,, then ‘check’ your observations with sound. Look out for the new chapters then!
Hi Prof, thanks for the reply. Is it also possible to have a QnA section for the pots video for each chapter? Sometimes there might be some concepts that needs clarification but we have no resources to turn to.. ):
That’s something I have been thinking of doing but it doesn’t seem like this platform allows for it. Will see if I can find a plugin to achieve this … so watch this space!
This is awesome
This was very useful. Thank you😁
Thank you for the encouragement.
