Results: A total of 280 responses were submitted from trainees between PGY3 and PGY5. 78% of the responses were concordant with the attending pathologist diagnosis while 22% were discordant (16% same category, 4% higher category, 2% lower category). The interpretations were not likely to change patient management in 91% of the cases. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates an application of whole slide imaging for improving trainee interpretation of frozen section consultations. Responses from residents and fellows correlated well with actual interpretations from attending pathologists. Based upon enthusiastic positive feedback from the respondents, ten cases per month will be added to the teaching set on a continuous basis, serving as a permanent database of challenging consultation cases for the training program and will continue to provide insight as to the types of cases trainees may struggle with.
