1. Material presented at multidisciplinary clinical radiology pathology rounds can be repurposed for educational use by different specialty users.2. Online quiz format with immediate feedback, and routing of answers for later discussions with the specialty training supervisor adds value to the learning experience for residents in training.

Multidisciplinary clinical-radiology-pathology rounds are a common feature in teaching hospitals. These rounds commonly require extensive preparation by clinical, pathology and radiology staff placing additional workload demands [1]. However, several important benefits often result from these rounds including improved communication between the clinicians, pathologists and radiologists, helping optimal use of imaging and pathological specimen processing, answering pertinent issues related to management of the individual patient, overall quality improvement, as well as a role in resident teaching and continuing medical education [2]. Despite the educational benefits of...

Methods and MaterialsOur academic teaching hospital has been holding monthly clinical-radiology-pathology orbital case rounds for the last 6 years, and putting these online for dissemination and wider access. Typically these include orbital, oculofacial and neuroophthalmic cases, which involve various invasive and non-invasive imaging modalities and often require histopathological confirmation for diagnosis to direct further management if indicated. Occasionally, there are cases contributed by other ophthalmic specialties, and from non-ophthalmic specialties like neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and paediatric and adult oncology when there is orbital presentation of disease....

Developing and use of multispecialty specific case material using an online quiz format with both model answers and later scheduled feedback maximizes the teaching potential of the case material presented at our regular clinical radiology pathology rounds.
