In collaboration with the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, and in conjunction with the Tropical Health Education Trust (THET) Ghana Workforce Health Partnership, the Royal College of Pathologists presents this series of 24 video lectures, covering topics selected by the Faculty of Laboratory Medicine, across chemical pathology, haematology, histopathology (anatomical pathology), and microbiology.  

This project is funded through the Building the Future International Workforce Programme (Ghana) by the UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) for the benefit of the UK and partner country health sectors.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons' Laboratory Medicine curricula were recently revised. These virtual resources aspire to support the curricula by strengthening their implementation and by offering opportunities for the residents' continued professional development.

The aim is that the learning will translate into better practice, patient management and improved outcomes, helping to tackle some of the challenges at the forefront of pathology not only in Ghana, but worldwide.

The Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons runs two distinct programmes that lead to membership and then fellowship of the College.

Membership training

Candidates (residents) spend between 2 and 4 years in training (depending on the Faculty and programme) before becoming a specialist eligible in the Ghana Health Service. A member of the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons has completed a specialist training programme of the College.

Fellowship training

Candidates (senior residents) spend between 2 and 4 years in training (depending on Faculty and subspecialty) to become a consultant eligible in the Ghana Health Service scheme of work. A fellow of the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons has completed a subspecialty programme and has been conferred honours as such.
