美国各地的病理学培训项目在应对2019年冠状病毒大流行方面面临着前所未有的挑战。在休斯顿卫理公会医院，病理学和基因组医学系计划并执行了一项面向培训生的分步应急措施。重点是优化临床和解剖病理学领域之间的工作流程，保持良好的教育体验，并最大限度地减少实习生接触2019冠状病毒病。在第一阶段的响应中，受训者被分为两组：一组在现场工作，另一组在远程工作。随着疫情的发展，所有受训人员都被召回现场，并重新部署到我们的部门，以满足我们临床化验室服务大幅增加的工作量需求。对培训生教育活动的调整包括组织每日2019冠状病毒病虚拟系列研讨会等。这个系列有助于促进教师、实验室管理人员和学员之间的沟通。此外，它还成为学员提供个人服务工作流程和数量、正在进行的项目和研究的最新情况以及2019年冠状病毒病相关主题的文献综述的论坛。根据我们项目的经验，在2019年冠状病毒病大流行期间，在我们部门重新部署病理学学员，优化了患者护理，同时确保了学员的安全，重要的是，通过积极参与独特的学习机会，有助于保持持续的高质量教育。
Pathology training programs throughout the United States have endured unprecedented challenges dealing with the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. At Houston Methodist Hospital, the Department of Pathology and Genomic Medicine planned and executed a trainee-oriented, stepwise emergency response. The focus was on optimizing workflows among areas of both clinical and anatomic pathology, maintaining an excellent educational experience, and minimizing trainee exposure to coronavirus disease 2019. During the first phase of the response, trainees were divided into 2 groups: one working on-site and the other working remotely. With the progression of the pandemic, all trainees were called back on-site and further redeployed within our department to meet the significantly increased workload demands of our clinical laboratory services. Adjustments to trainee educational activities included, among others, the organization of a daily coronavirus disease 2019 virtual seminar series. This series served to facilitate communication between faculty, laboratory managers, and trainees. Moreover, it became a forum for trainees to provide updates on individual service workflows and volumes, ongoing projects and research, as well as literature reviews on coronavirus disease 2019–related topics. From our program’s experience, redeploying pathology trainees within our department during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic resulted in optimization of patient care while ensuring trainee safety, and importantly, helped to maintain continuous high-quality education through active involvement in unique learning opportunities.
