Training activity information

Details

Dissect breast specimens, received for a range of non-malignant pathologies, to include:

  • Cyst
  • Excision

Type

Entrustable training activity (ETA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion. ​

Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.

Considerations

  • Local SOPs
  • Specimen orientation, inking, block sampling and macroscopic description
  • Quality of blocks
  • RCPath tissue pathways
  • Macroscopic pathological features specific to the disease entity

Relevant learning outcomes
