International Survey of Medical Cytopathology Training During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Dear trainees,

My name is Nataliya Piletska, and I am a senior histopathology registrar working in North West London Pathology, hosted by Imperial College London NHS Trust. I am also the Regional Representative for HistoLaSE.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many challenges to cytopathology training, leading to many changes and adaptations.

This survey aims to address the experiences of cellular pathology trainees and pay particular attention to the impacts of COVID-19 on cytopathology training. This survey has been commissioned for publication in the journal Cytopathology, in an issue dedicated to COVID-19.

We would be grateful if you could complete this survey, which should take approximately 5 minutes, by 7th November 2022. The individual responses will be anonymous, but the responses will be analysed by country, to look for differences which may help plan future training in cytopathology.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Yours sincerely,

Nataliya
