title: Some variations of case-based techniques for the teaching of undergraduate pathology.
abstract: The challenges to the teaching of undergraduate pathology include adapting to the ever-evolving medical curriculum and the emergence of new teaching technologies. Nevertheless, pathology remains the crucial bridging medical discipline, with the pathology teacher playing an important role in consolidating the basic medical sciences and leading in the clinical disciplines. In this report, variations of case-based teaching of undergraduate pathology are discussed. These can be used in pathology lectures, tutorials and practical sessions, both traditional and computer-based. They contribute to the pathology teacher's repertoire of teaching tools and help add relevance and zest during class.
