Uganda 2020
Technology
In 2020, the informatics system created in 2019 was expanded to include the mortuary cases. The system was taught and implemented making the department run smoother.
Education
Path of Logic is dedicated to helping the Mmeds feel confident with gross dissections. Throughout the year, we collect the most current anatomic pathology manuals, books, and create instructional tutorials. Then we focus on hands on instruction while on site.
Enhancement
The department refrigerator was replaced with one that is reliable. There are many reagents and antibodies that require refrigeration, and the old refrigerator would intermittently turn off, which was potentially compromising.
Encouragement
For the third year, Path of Logic provided living expense stipends to the four residents. In a country where pathology residents are unpaid, many have second jobs on the weekends to support their families. The stipends lessen the financial burden to allow focus to their roles at the Mbarara University of Science and Technology.
Community Project
