“…Indeed, students do not appreciate the Pathology Course for excessive amount of materials to study 6 , or for antiquated methodology of learning 7 . Furthermore, MCSs expressed their dissatisfaction for Pathology course based only on lectures without clinical correlations 8 and for the lack of deep knowledge about the practical work of pathologists 9 .…”

Summary Objective In Italy, shortage of pathologists is a problem that affects the quality of the National Health System (NHS). The cause of the shortage of pathologists in Italy must be sought in the lack of interests in the pathologist career by Medical Course Students (MCS) and in drop out of Post-Graduate Medical Schools (PGMS). We investigated reasons of both through two surveys. Methods We developed and proposed on Facebook two surveys, one to MCSs attending last years of study and one to Pathology School Residents (PSRs). Survey for MCSs consisted of 10 questions centered on their perception about pathologist activity; survey for PSRs consisted of 8 questions and investigated the most and least appreciated aspects of Italian PGMS. Results We obtained 500 responses from the MCSs and 51 responses from the PSRs. Our results show that lack of interest of MCS may be due to their incomplete knowledge of the pathologist’s activities. On the other hand, PSR answers show that some teaching aspects should be improved. Conclusions Our surveys showed that lack of interest of MCS in the pathology career depends on poor knowledge about the real clinical significance of pathology and PSRs believe that Italian PGMS do not meet their interest. One solution could be a renewal of teaching both in the pathology courses for MCS and in PGMS.

“…2 However, these basic disciplines focus on theoretical knowledge rather than its relevance to clinical practice, resulting in a somewhat unmotivating and dull environment for students and lower engagement and satisfaction with their studies. 3 , 4 Proper pharmacology education is crucial to avoiding medication errors in future practice. 5 Therefore, engaging tools that boost students’ experience in pharmacology learning and enhance their relevance to practice need to be explored.…”

Basic medical sciences are of a solid abstract nature. Pharmacology is a challenging discipline delivered in all healthcarerelated curricula with different aims and goals. Memes are one of aiding instructional designs proved to surge students' performance and satisfaction with the educational process. Apart from assessing medical students' and faculty's perception of meme use in pharmacology learning, the current study aimed to explore the criteria of preferences and factors associated with successful memes' adoption in this discipline as one of the most challenging basic medical sciences. Methods: A biphasic study was conducted among second-year undergraduate medical students and faculty members. The study involved assessing the perceptions of staff and students, and thematic content analysis was performed on the narrative responses of the participants to explore factors contributing to the success of learning memes. Additionally, students' performance was also analyzed. Results: The use of memes in pharmacology was well perceived by medical students, with a mean satisfaction rating of 4.5/5 for high-achieving students and 4.33 for low-achieving students. Memes were associated with a performance surge (p = 0.022). Six themes emerged as criteria for a successful learning experience of meme use: previous scientific background on the meme topic, scenario context of the meme, learning concepts tackled by memes, the simplicity of meme's message, the relevance of meme's message to practice, and the modality of meme's use in the topic of education. Regarding the perception of meme use in pharmacology learning, four themes emerged: the mode and engagement of learning experience mode, the feasibility of meme use in pharmacology learning, students' attitudes towards further meme inclusion in their study, and the perceived impact of memes on students' cognitive skills. Conclusion:The use of memes in pharmacology yields positive learning outcomes. A careful selection of memes is required to ensure a successful learning experience.
