Pathology Live

Pathology LIVE! is born from a Project of Innovation and the Teaching Quality Improvement of the Universidad Complutense Madrid whose object is the creation of an online platform of continuous training in pathology and veterinary forensics for students of health sciences. The Pathology LIVE! platform allows access to the students to live necropsies and to the follow-up of the histopathological study of the different cases, allowing self-assessment and analysis of the knowledge acquisition.

Pathology LIVE! is integrated by a multidisciplinary team and is developed in the facilities of VISAVET Health Surveillance Centre of Universidad Complutense Madrid.
