Benvenuto nel sistema di addestramento via web Eurocytology

Il progetto Eurocytology è sostenuto dal programma Leonardo da Vinci con lo scopo di aumentare il numero di accessi per l’addestramento alla citologia clinica e per equiparare il livello di insegnamento di questa importante specialità patologia in tutto l'UE.

Lo scopo è fornire una banca di immagini attentamente selezionate assieme ad una descrizione di supporto con riferimenti bibliografici per offrire un sistema di insegnamento unificato ed un metodo di addestramento professionale ai citotecnici ed ai citopatologi impiegati in tutti gli aspetti della citologia clinica al fine sia diagnostico che di screening.

Le informazioni sono presenti in tre capitoli di insegnamento:

  • Capitolo 1 che riguarda la citologia cervicale
  • Capitolo 2 che riguarda alla citologia non ginecologica
  • Capitolo 3 che riguarda precedenti progetti realizzati dall’ UE
