LINKOPING, Sweden and
SYDNEY, Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Royal
College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) has reached a
milestone in its exam process with trainees now using the digital
pathology solution from the international medical imaging IT and
cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B). This
provides trainees across the region with easy-to-use tools that
enable them to focus on the pathology cases at hand.
"Pathology trainees from across Australasia take several sets of
exams throughout their five years of training. Now, during the
ongoing pandemic, these exams are being conducted remotely instead
of on campus in Sydney. Regardless
of where the exams take place, we need a solid, robust and secure
solution that we can rely on during this important and stressful
time for trainees. Sectra's solution is also intuitive and easy to
use, requiring minimal training. We feel very confident that our
new exam process using Sectra's solution will better prepare our
pathology trainees for their future careers," says RCPA President,
Doctor Michael Dray.
Sectra's solution will be used by pathology trainees from across
Australasia, including Australia,
New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Saudi
Arabia, during their final pathology exams. The trainees
will have access to Sectra's solution through the program portal
where they will receive cases and associated questions for
assessment. The solution's zero-footprint viewer and smart
streaming functionality enable access to digital pathology images
without large installations, at any time.
"Sectra is committed to making our solutions rock-solid and easy
to use, since this is critical in the clinical environment. I'm
excited that it is these qualities that grant us the opportunity to
be part of training future pathologists for their important job.
Sectra believes that digital pathology plays a key role in meeting
the challenges in, for example, cancer care. Making our digital
pathology solution part of the program for training pathologists is
truly inspiring," says Bart Thielen,
President of Sectra Australia and New
Zealand.
The RCPA is the leading organization representing pathologists
and senior scientists in Australasia. Its mission is to train and
support pathologists and senior scientists and to improve the use
of pathology testing to achieve better healthcare. The related
quality assurance programs (RCPAQAP) have used Sectra's digital
pathology solution in external quality assurance (EQA) programs in
Australia and another 80 countries
since 2017.
