In gynecologic cytopathology, a new L module for education will feature liquid-based SurePath and ThinPrep slide methods only. These will be designated PAPL/APAPL, with a choice of series one or two.

The online portion of the education program mimics laboratory workflow. Primary screeners can preview and mark whole-slide images and provide interpretations for the secondary screener. The secondary screener can choose to look at an unmarked slide. After submitting interpretations by the due date, each screener will receive the intended responses online. The online cases will be accessible for two years. International laboratories will benefit from lower delivery costs and customs fees. The online education program may also be ordered as a stand-alone product (PED/APED). The glass-slide proficiency test portion of the program will remain unchanged.
