About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in robotic telepathology and the course director for the Postgraduate Certificate in Robotics for Telepathology. Dr. Smith, could you please share a bit about your experience and what led you to this field? GUEST: Thanks for having me! I've been a pathologist for over 15 years, and I've always been fascinated by technology's potential to improve diagnostics. I started exploring robotic telepathology around 10 years ago, and it's been a remarkable journey ever since. HOST: That's fascinating! Now, let's discuss the course. How does this program help pathologists and biomedical engineers bridge the gap between robotic manipulation and remote diagnostics? GUEST: The course covers advanced robotic surgery techniques, digital pathology, and image analysis. It equips learners with the expertise to handle tissue remotely and use virtual microscopy. This combination of skills is crucial for successful telepathology. HOST: I see. As technology advances, what are some current industry trends that are relevant to this course? GUEST: AI integration and automation are two significant trends. They can enhance workflows, improve diagnostic accuracy, and increase access to care. Our course focuses on these areas to prepare professionals for the future of telepathology. HOST: That sounds crucial. Now, what challenges have you faced or observed in teaching or learning this subject matter? GUEST: One challenge is staying updated with rapidly evolving technology. We constantly review and update our curriculum to ensure learners acquire the most relevant and current skills. HOST: I can imagine. Lastly, where do you see the future of robotic telepathology heading, and how does this course prepare professionals for these changes? GUEST: I believe robotic telepathology will transform healthcare, making diagnostics more accurate, efficient, and accessible. Our course empowers professionals to lead this transformation by providing them with the right skills and knowledge. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today. It's been a pleasure learning about the Postgraduate Certificate in Robotics for Telepathology and the exciting future of this field. GUEST: Thank you for having me! It's been a pleasure discussing this topic with you and your audience.
