Resident training in interventional pathology: Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and rapid on site evaluation—5 years of teaching experience in a single university hospital

Abstract

Despite the established role of the interventional pathologist, their diagnostic performance is difficult to establish. At least in Spain training of pathology residents in ultrasound-guided interventional procedures for specimen collection is limited or absent in most institutions. We present our teaching experience in the instruction of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) to pathology residents in a tertiary-level hospital.
